Locked by icloud but acct no longer exsist
Sometimes people rename apple id and old one still shows up in icloud settings of the phone.
1. 98 % of those resolved by using correct current password for new account to sign out.
2. 1% of the rest resolved by having to reset password during sign out process directly on the phone using security questions (needs to be done during sign out when old password is not accepted).
3. The rest have to go to icloud.com and remove phone from icloud first. Then check at icloud.com/activationlock if device is unlocked and then restore the phone in recovery mode. In order to remove it device has to be offline.
Notice all that only works if account does not exist anymore, cause it was renamed.

Hi Malibu , If you've locked your phone through entering an incorrect pin number 3 times then you need a Puk code, Ring your service provider and they will give you the FREE Puk code.....
If you lock your phone again some time in the future and you're still with the same service provider you can use that same Puk code.. CHEERS..
