At my work, they recently cleared out the lost and found and were going to trash stuff. I ended up with a clean practically new iPad. The previous owner was not contactable for over a year. He left his Apple details on and his passcode was 12345 (I kid you not). I want to unlock it from his Apple account so that I can hard reset it. What can I do here?

*Edit: So, after exploring it a bit more, I found a password list in the Passwords. Literally, the first password I put in was the correct one. Lol. It has been freed.

    Went through this at work and we owned the device and it was a nightmare. They make you wait like 6 weeks for a single email that never came to us and we ended up forgetting about it by the time the 6 weeks was up.

      Yup. Our receipt didn’t have the SN on it so they told us to write it on the receipt and scan/send. Of course, they rejected it a dozen times.

      Apple’s CS is designed to make you just give up. But, unluckily for them, I have infinite patience. Fun fact, Microsoft’s support line stops playing music after 3 hours of waiting.
