How to Fix iPhone Stuck on Lost or Stolen Screen?
Asked by
TechJunkie27
I recently reset my iPhone, but now it's stuck on the 'lost or stolen' screen. I have my iCloud ID password handy, and the device is still connected to my iCloud account, which is set to remove it in December. However, I'm not seeing the option to enter my credentials to activate my phone. Is there any way I can get past this screen?

It seems like your phone is flagged as lost or stolen, which is pretty common if it was bought from a sketchy source. If you’re using an iCloud ID that isn’t yours, you might need to reach out to the original owner to sort it out. If the seller is legit and provided their iCloud details, make sure they’re entered correctly. If nothing’s working, you might have to contact Apple support for more help.

Honestly, it sounds like you might have gotten scammed. If the phone was marked as lost before you got it, the original owner has to remove it from their iCloud account. If they’re not cooperating, you might be out of luck.
