6. Ask Apple Store for Help

If nothing else works, then your only option is to contact Apple Support for further assistance. This is the last solution on this list because it can be very time-consuming.

You will also be required to provide Apple with proof that you own the device. This can be in the form of a receipt proving that you paid for the device or a letter from the previous owner indicating that they sold it to you or gave it to you as a gift.

Once you have your proof of ownership, you can call or email Apple Support and they may be able to help.
