Well, this is quite a common problem, especially after the iOS 15 update.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/solving-iphone-locked-to-owner\/hero.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone displaying 'Locked to Owner' message\" width=\"1722\" height=\"1007\"><\/figure>\n<p>If you\u2019ve recently encountered this issue, this post will attempt to explain what \"iPhone Locked to Owner\" means and how to unlock or bypass it, with or without the use of a computer.<\/p>\n<h2>What Does \"iPhone Locked to Owner\" Mean?<\/h2>\n<p>If your iPhone displays the message \u201ciPhone Locked to Owner,\u201d it means the device is protected by Activation Lock. This security feature, included in Find My, is designed to prevent anyone who is not the owner from using the iPhone. It\u2019s particularly useful if the iPhone is lost or stolen. Activation Lock is triggered if the iPhone is erased or reset without first turning off Find My iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>When the iPhone displays \u201ciPhone Locked to Owner,\u201d it prompts you to enter the Apple ID and password previously associated with the device to unlock it. But what if you\u2019ve forgotten your Apple ID or password and can\u2019t recover it? Or what if the Apple ID belongs to someone else and you don\u2019t have access to it?<\/p>\n<p>This is where this article comes in. In this article, we will show you how to bypass or unlock the \u201ciPhone Locked to Owner\u201d screen, with or without a computer.<\/p>\n<h2>Solve \"iPhone Locked to Owner\" with a PC<\/h2>\n<p>In many cases, using a computer to unlock an iPhone displaying the \u201ciPhone Locked to Owner\u201d message is the most effective method. By utilizing a specialized Activation Lock removal tool like <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.isumsoft.com\/ilock-refixer\/\">iSumsoft iLock Refixer<\/a> on your computer, you can bypass the \u201ciPhone Locked to Owner\u201d screen in a few simple steps.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Download and install iSumsoft iLock Refixer on your computer. Ensure iTunes is installed on your compute.

You will then need to manually put your iPhone into DFU mode by following the instructions displayed on the software screen.<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/solving-iphone-locked-to-owner\/step-6-click-start.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone entering Recovery Mode\" width=\"1734\" height=\"1194\"><\/figure>\n<li>After your iPhone enters DFU mode, the software will begin jailbreaking it automatically. Keep the iPhone connected and wait a few minutes for the jailbreak to complete.<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/solving-iphone-locked-to-owner\/step-7-jailbreaking.jpg\" alt=\"Jailbreaking iPhone\" width=\"1734\" height=\"1196\"><\/figure>\n<li>Once the jailbreak is complete, your iPhone will enter Recovery Mode again. You will need to manually put your iPhone into DFU mode once more by following the instructions on the software screen.<\/li>\n<li>After your iPhone enters DFU mode again, the software will jailbreak it for the second time.<\/li>\n<li>As soon as the second jailbreak is finished, the software will start bypassing the Activation Lock on your iPhone.<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/solving-iphone-locked-to-owner\/step-10-bypassing-icloud-activation.jpg\" alt=\"Bypassing iCloud Activation Lock\" width=\"1733\" height=\"1194\"><\/figure>\n<li>Soon, you will see the message \u201c<strong>Successfully Bypassed<\/strong>\u201d on the software screen, indicating that you have successfully bypassed the Activation Lock on your iPhone. Then, when setting up your iPhone, you will be able to skip the \u201ciPhone Locked to Owner\u201d screen and access the home screen without needing to enter an Apple ID or password.<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/solving-iphone-locked-to-owner\/step-11-success.jpg\" alt=\"Successfully Bypassed message\" width=\"1732\" height=\"1195\"><\/figure>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Resolve It Without a PC<\/h2>\n<p>If you wish to unlock an iPhone displaying the \u201ciPhone Locked to Owner\u201d message without using a computer or any third-party tools, here are three methods that might help.<\/p>\n<p>However, if it\u2019s a used iPhone you acquired from someone else, you will need the assistance of the previous owner to unlock it.<\/p>\n<h3>Option 1: Unlock with Device Passcode<\/h3>\n<p>In some cases, the \u201ciPhone Locked to Owner\u201d screen displays the \u201cUnlock with Passcode\u201d option, allowing you to unlock the iPhone using the lock screen passcode that was previously set.<\/p>\n<p>This is the most convenient way to bypass the \u201ciPhone Locked to Owner\u201d screen without using a computer, but it\u2019s only viable if the option is available and you know the previously used passcode.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/solving-iphone-locked-to-owner\/option-1-unlock-with-passcode.jpg\" alt=\"Unlock with Passcode option on iPhone\" width=\"1734\" height=\"1029\"><\/figure>\n<h3>Option 2: Unlock by the Previous Owner<\/h3>\n<p>If you acquired a used iPhone from someone and find that it displays \u201ciPhone Locked to Owner,\u201d the best course of action is to contact that individual. Once you get in touch with the previous owner, you can either return the locked iPhone to them or request that they unlock it.<\/p>\n<p>It is not necessary for the previous owner to physically enter their Apple ID and password on the iPhone, nor do they need to provide them to you. Instead, they can follow the simple steps outlined below to remotely remove the \u201ciPhone Locked to Owner\u201d screen from the iPhone.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Sign in to <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.icloud.com\/\">iCloud.com<\/a> in a browser on any device using the Apple ID linked to the iPhone.<\/li>\n<li>Once signed in, click the <strong>Find My<\/strong> app to access the iCloud Find Devices page.<\/li>\n<li>Click the iPhone that says \u201cLocked to Owner,\u201d and then click \u201c<strong>Remove This Device.<\/strong>\u201c<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/solving-iphone-locked-to-owner\/option-2-unlock-with-icloud.jpg\" alt=\"Unlocking iPhone via iCloud\" width=\"1734\" height=\"886\"><\/figure>\n<h3>Option 3: Contact Apple Support<\/h3>\n<p>If none of the above methods work for you and you\u2019re still stuck on the \u201ciPhone Locked to Owner\u201d screen without any progress, the last resort is to <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/contact\">contact Apple Support<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you are the actual owner of the iPhone, you can attempt to recover your Apple ID by talking to Apple Support. If you can\u2019t provide enough information to recover your Apple ID, another option is to provide valid proof of purchase to remove the Activation Lock.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>If your iPhone displays \u201cLocked to Owner\u201d and you\u2019ve lost or don\u2019t have access to the associated Apple ID and password, it can be a significant concern. Fortunately, in many instances, you can bypass the \u201ciPhone Locked to Owner\u201d screen and unlock the device using a computer and a specialized tool like iSumsoft iLock Refixer.<\/p>\n<p>If you prefer to address the issue without a computer, the most reliable methods are to recover your Apple ID, contact the actual owner, or reach out to Apple Support.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Encountering the &#8220;iPhone Locked to Owner&#8221; message and required to enter the designated Apple ID and password to unlock it?
