Hard Reset iPhone 5c without iCloud password

Worth a shot Link
There are always ways around this. I used to work for a company that bought old iPhones to resell them. It is just about finding the right work arounds for the given OS.

Going through the process in my head, this may be your best and only bet - unless you take it to the Apple Store. The servicing Phone provider might be able to do something, but I am unsure.
I believe it part of the draw on security on the iOS platform is that you have to follow certain steps for safe guards.
They did that. The Genius bar was unable to help them.

If that even works, doesn't that get rid of the whole point of iCloud and Find My iPhone?

One of the links above was the same as that article. They said it didn't help. I should add I'm not the one following these tutorials. The people doing the work are not technical...

It's because for every legit person like this, there are 99 with stolen phones.
Stupid stealing humans.

I figured I was close to the same, I just noticed that the article I posted specifically mentioned your iOS version. I will guess the "In this method, you have to toggle the “Find My iPhone” off and tap on “Delete iCloud Account” at the same time." part is what is getting them. At this point they can spend an evening hacking away trying to get this to work, or just go get a new phone. If it is a iPhone 5c, it had a pretty good run, time to upgrade.

Hope this guide works.

Shouldn't there be a rule that prevents new users from posting links?
-
Or Lazarus thread posts.

Being a new user means they probably haven't read through the rules yet. Be nice.....

It's odd though when they post a link to a commercial product.

Oh it is and I will be watching. But for first post I try to give the benefit of the doubt.

@thanksajdotcom right direction. The first way to solve this problem is to reset your iCloud account password online, the second to use iTunes to reset, and the third is to use third-party tools to hard reset iPhone without iCloud password (final solution). Here are the steps to use iTunes:
Connect to iTunes> Click on the Summary tab in the left list of iTunes > select Restore iPhone Options > select "Restore" option in the prompt window > click "Restore and Update" > iPhone will restart.
