When you got an iPhone from a friend or purchased it secondhand,
there's chance that it's tied to an iCloud account which you don't know the credentials,
then you'll run into this when setting it up,
it's asking for the Apple ID and password.
so what now？
In this video we'll show you a simple but effective way to unlock it without using the Apple ID or passcode.
Let's jump in!
If the device is also locked with passcode,
here is how to unlock it using iTunes,
so once open it,
plug your iPhone into the Computer,
then put it into Recovery Mode,
for an iPhone 8, is press and quickly release the volume up button,
then press and quickly release the volume down,
then press and hold the side button till you see the connect to Computer icon,
then iTunes should recognize it and tell you to update or restore, go ahead and hit restore,
then hit restore and update to confirm,
and consent to the Terms and condition,
the restore will begin once it downloaded the firmware,
If you have difficulty using iTunes,
4uKey will make a nice alternative.
Now that we see the hello screen let's go ahead and set it up.
After connecting to a network,
we should see this Activation Lock asking for the credentials,
if you forgot all of these, here is how to bypass this with 4MeKey.
I'll leave the link in the description below in case you want to download,
so after launching it, plug your phone in,
then click on start and agree to the disclaimer,
4MeKey will download the jailbreak tool now if you haven't done it yet,
now insert an empty USB thumb drive into the Computer,
once recognized, hit start to create the jailbreak drive.
Once done, you'll see a guide showing you step by step how to complete the jailbreak.
So let's now restart the Computer,
when it boots up, press F12 key to enter the Boot option,
and then select the USB storage device to continue,
then we'll see the Checkra1n jailbreak wizard,
it says iPhone 8 is not supported at this point.
No worries, now we head to Options,
tick off Allow untested iOS and Skip A11 BOR check, then quick back.
now it says iPhone 8 is partially supported, go ahead and hit Start.
The device will be put into recovery mode first as a insurance, press next to confirm.
Once in, press start, then quickly follow the instructions to put your phone into DFU mode,
for iPhone 8, is press and hold the side and volume down button for 4 seconds,
then release the side button,
but continue holding the volume down button for another 10 seconds.
Once in DFU mode you'll see the jailbreak code running on your device.
Well done, now let's reboot the Computer, and open 4MeKey to start over.
This time you'll get straight to the device information screen, below it is a start remove button,
by clicking on it, 4MeKey will do the trick for you in a minute.
Just like this.
Now let's get back to the phone and check it out.
When we see the data and privacy option, we know the Activation Lock is no longer ahead our way.
Let's move on.
Make sure not to create passcode and Touch ID,
and skip signing in your own Apple ID when asked,
then you can proceed to the Home screen,
then in settings, we should notice the apple account has been signed out.
That's it!
Thanks for watching.
See you in the next video.
