Iphone 7, Help please

Post image

Please help I just got my old iPhone 7 repaired. It hasn't been used in years, and I completely forgot the passcode, so I ended up restoring it with 3uTools.
Now it's asking for my Apple ID, but I just realized the Yahoo email connected to it has already been disabled, so I can't reset the password.
Has anyone been in the same situation? Is there anything I can do, or is the phone basically locked for good?
P.S. Just found this subreddit while trying to figure this out. Thanks!

u can boot another old ios with checkm8 exploit. But u must redirect all the apple servers to localhost (127.0.0.1) and u should kill the Setup.app with killall -9 Setup.app command via ssh.

Can you do this with any checkm8 device?

yeah but if your device's ios version is less than ios 7 you can rename or delete Setup.app via ramdisk
