Apologies,need some quick help...

Visiting my mother in the UK,someone gave her a iphone5s,she tried to set it up and misspelt her email address.Obviously,she cannot verify it as it is incorrect.Cannot set to retire as cannot turn off the "find my iPhone"feature(as we cannot verify the incorrect email address).
Just need to get this done so i can go back to Jamaica!

Verify as in? Is she on the home page? Can’t see sign out?

 

[Applejuiced]

Yeah right man
She just misspeled her email and password and locked it to someones find my iPhone icloud account.
That Ting doesnt make sense...

I didn’t understand how anyone can misspell and still get into the phone?! She must have the correct iCloud ID and password to sign in right?

You think it’s one of those?!............

Thanks Akash..
Verify as in,it keeps asking for password for the email she has entered,which is wrong.Cant delete the incorrect email as it needs verifying ...nightmare.

Yeah but to get the email account accepted to begin with, she must have typed in a correct password. This actually doesn’t make sense.

Something smells fishy and it's not fish!

Gents,nothing fishy here...

its the apple ID verification.Keeps saying "enter password for etc etc.."and this email doesn't exist as its incorrectly spellt.She can't re-enter a new one or delete the incorrect one as there is no such email address!.Phone won't allow her to get to the next stage...

It’s really difficult to understand where you see this message. Can you attach a picture by any chance?

Awww...c'mon lads!I'm not a criminal!Phone belongs to her...

I'm not sure if i am explaining this properly.
1.She was given an iPhone 5s by her friend,unlocked.
2.Home screen is open,sim card u
[doublepost=1507212378][/doublepost]can't "restore"as i need to turn off "find my iPhone" but can't turn that off as we cannot verify her email address...

i can post some screenshots if this help?
[doublepost=1507212438][/doublepost]cannot verify apple ID(iCloud) as the email address is incorrect.

 

[noobinator]

So she doesn't know the Password to this account? She forgot it?

Buddy I dont think you're getting it.
You cannot bypass icloud activation lock. Its an anti theft security feature that needs the correct icloud email and password to disable.
If it was given to her by her friend then tell her to ask her to enter the correct icloud password in order to turn off find my iphone.
Or bring it to Apple.
Good luck.

Thanks Juiced,appreciated.
We understand that she needs the correct iCloud email/password BUT,she misspelt her email and now cannot delete it to re enter it correctly.I'm assuming her friend "wiped"it before giving it to her..

Buddy.

you just need to put in the password. you dont need access to the email at this point. does she not know the pw?

Pastor?to an account that doesn't exist?Remember,there is no such email address as she misspelt it,now she cannot re-enter or delete it...
apologies if unclear.

OP >> You need to contact Apple. Nobody here can help you bypass an activation lock.
