To do this, you need to present a photo of the box of the device with a clearly visible serial number and a receipt from an official Apple dealer about the purchase of the device.

  • Contact a professional Internet service through which such issues are resolved, where for very immodest money they will remove the block from the iPad, which is locked. However, you will be calm, and the scammers will not receive a dime.!
