Remove Apple ID
When you forget the password of Apple account and cannot reset it through verification, you are unable to download or update applications; use Apple Pay or other payment functions; sync or back up iCloud data, and so on.
In this case, you can remove the existing Apple ID from the device so that a new Apple ID can be added and signed in. This allows you to restore normal functionality such as app downloads, payments, and data synchronization.
Steps to Remove Apple ID
1. Launch FoneTool Unlocker and connect your iOS device to your computer using a USB cable.
2. Select the "Remove Apple ID" option in the interface.
3. Set a backup password as instructed. Ensure you remember this password for future reference.
4. Click "Remove Now" to begin the process of unlinking the Apple ID.
5. After completion, click "Back to Home Page". Then, you can use your device without an Apple ID, and re-login an new Apple account.
By following this detailed guide and adhering to the provided precautions, you can successfully unlink your Apple ID using FoneTool Unlocker and set up a new one seamlessly.
Note:
If the device has been enabled "Find My iPhone", you get the message “This device is locked. Enter the Apple ID and password to activate...” when you reset the device, you must enter the same Apple ID and password that were previously used on this device. This is part of Apple’s Activation Lock, a security feature designed to prevent unauthorized use of a lost or stolen device.
When the device is under Activation Lock, the Remove Apple ID feature cannot remove the Apple ID if you do not remember the corresponding Apple ID.
