Hi, anyone out there has any solution to a locked icloud. Ipad belongs to me, but icloud account does not belong to me, stranger (used my ipad and) locked my ipad with his/her appleid. Contacted apple and eserv, both cant do anything. Any expert care to help?

why did u let a stranger use your ipad in the first place ?

if u have proof of purchase for the ipad....maybe u wanna try go back to the apple service centre and ask them to solve for u ?

cos it's not possible to unlock icloud or unlock the activation lock at the moment.

I didn't let a stranger do it, my dad did..

Anyway I brought the proof of purchase to service centre. They can't do it either.

How did that guy manage to put his icloud account in the first place? He will need your account password to remove the account followed by putting his account in and verifying his email...

well, if you have the proof of purchase and box, you can try calling Apple and tell them that you absolutely have ways to prove that you are the rightful owner as you have the box, receipt, etc, and persuade them to allow a 1-1 exchange.

I'm pretty sure that the iPad is locked for good

the mistakes are 3 folds:
1. TS never set iCloud password or in this case even worse, removed it. (why remove?)
2. TS' father let stranger filled in the icloud (for what purpose borrow and need to put in icloud?)
3. the stranger never removed after (troll)

A saying goes by - A bad workman quarrel with his tools

Ownself screwup and cockup but do not blame himself but blame Apple
