Apple launches a portal to remove the activation lock on iPhone and iPad

Apple has a tight security system. As such, the mechanism can often leave the iPad or iPhone user himself lost when he receives the message that his device is locked. In addition, the existing information may be too generalist, which does not help those without access to the equipment. Now the Cupertino company, to help its users, has launched a new page on its website that will act as a portal to “Deactivate the activation block”.

The information is simple, but the intention is to compile two or three paths on a single page to help when the iPhone or iPad is locked.

This page provides details on how users can disable the Activation Lock security feature on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices. The page contains a link to initiate the Activation Block support request process in the United States.

This means that users do not need to call Apple support by phone, email or online chat to start the process.

Apple helps with the new website: So how does it work?

When you are faced with the message Your iPhone is disabled you can try the number of times the system allows, but you can reach a limit situation. You can then seek help on the Activation Lock Support Portal.

Thus, from here you can start the removal of the Activation Lock on the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. You can simply add the necessary details and request that Apple remove the Activation Lock from your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch directly from the company's website.

Note that there are some prerequisites that you should be aware of. For example, you must be the owner of the device, the device must not be in Lost Mode or managed by a third-party institution such as a company. If you comply with these points, you can begin the process of removing the Activation Lock from your Apple gadget.

You will also be asked to enter your valid email and device serial number. You will receive a form to complete that will allow you to prove ownership of the device. In addition, you will need to provide the date of purchase of the device, the location where it was purchased and the receipt of the purchase, if you have one.

As noted, the information provided will be used by Apple or an Apple affiliated company to complete the process and remove the Activation Lock from your iPhone or iPad.

Despite recovering the device, it is important to consider one issue: as soon as Apple removes the Activation Lock from your iPhone or iPad, all of your data will be permanently deleted. Henceforth, it is advisable to keep a backup of your device before starting the process.
