How do I get past the activation lock on my old iPhone?

Asked By PhotoHunter82 On

I'm trying to recover some photos from an old iPhone I have, but I'm stuck at the activation lock screen. I entered the correct password, but it only gave me access for a few seconds before locking me out again. Now, it keeps asking for an activation code sent to an email I can no longer access. I'm really hoping there's a way to bypass this activation lock or at least find my old photos. I've seen a lot of guides on how to recover images from an old iPhone, but I wanted to ask for personal advice as I'm feeling so close to getting to my photos. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

If you don’t have an iCloud backup, the data is likely gone. But if you can figure out your Apple ID password, check if your photos were synced to iCloud. You might still have a chance to recover them if that’s the case.

Unfortunately, once your phone hits that activation lock, it’s pretty much unusable unless you can recover your Apple ID. You might want to try recovering your Apple account first and then resetting the phone to restore from any backups you might have. But let's be real, if you didn’t back it up, you may have lost the photos for good.

Just to clarify, when you mention 'phone password', are you referring to the 4-digit passcode to unlock the phone itself or your Apple ID password? Because that makes a huge difference in what steps you can take.
