[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1862016, member: 204485"] No, Apple will not help you unless you can prove it belongs to you. The only way you can get into it now is to erase the iPhone using iTunes or the Finder if you are on the latest macOS operating system. As I recall (and it is a while ago) if you turn the phone off, open iTunes, plug in a appropriate USB cable for the iPhone into the computer, then holding the Home button down (on the iPhone), plug the cable into the iPhone, you should hear a tone from your computer and the iPhone should come on, keep holding the Home button down until the phone displays a screen confirming it is connected to iTunes. At that point you can let go of the Home button and iTunes should say it is restoring the iPhone or give you the option to do so. You may need to confirm erase and restore in the iTunes window, I cant remember exactly. From there it should erase and reinstall the iOS version it came with and reset to factory settings. Now you just need to set it up and probably update it to the latest iOS it can run. Do let us know if that works. [/QUOTE]
