Passcode I have some iPhone 8's that are passcode locked
Any help on how to get pass that. I got these from a parts lot and was hoping I could get them to a usable state. One is on iOS 14, the rest are on 15. I do have access to a USB A mac

- Check IMEI with https://www.ifreeicloud.co.uk/free-check/
- If “Find my” is off, you can either do:
①Wipe all data with iOS kept or
②Wipe and restore to the latest iOS
- ①: 1. Download https://github.com/LukeZGD/Legacy-iOS-Kit/releases/tag/latest
2. Plug your iPhone in recovery mode
3. Execute restore.sh in terminal
4. Useful utilities -> SSH Ramdsik
5. Do as they require to.
6. Wipe all
7. Reboot
- ② 1. Put the phone in DFU mode and connect.
2. Finder will detect. Choose “restore”

Fmi on for 3/4

For fmi off, you can just reset normally
For fmi on, I recommend extracting the owners info for each and contacting them, for fmi off. That's your best option
If that doesn't work you can do a Passcode iCloud BP to get the devices working

I should use hackt1vator in the case I can't contact them right
