Understanding the difference between iOS repair tools and Activation Lock removal services helps you choose the right solution for your specific issue.
| Feature | Tenorshare ReiBoot | LockedToOwner.com |
|---|---|---|
Activation Lock Removal | Not supported (focuses on repair mode) | Yes - Online Unlock |
Cost | Paid software (licensing required) | 100% Free |
Access Method | Desktop software (requires download & installation) | 100% Online - browser-based, no installation |
Device Connection | Requires USB cable connection to computer | No physical device connection needed (IMEI/serial only) |
Technical Approach | Device-side repair (local firmware manipulation) | Server-side verification (requires unlock service) |
Best For | Recovery mode loops, boot failures, iOS update issues | "Locked to Owner" / Activation Lock screen at setup |
The key distinction:
If your device is stuck in recovery mode or has boot/update failures, ReiBoot-style repair tools are relevant. If you see the "Locked to Owner" or "iPhone is Locked to Owner" screen during setup, you need an Activation Lock removal path, which is enforced by Apple's servers (not device software).

Technical Note: ReiBoot operates on the device-side firmware level. Activation Lock is enforced by Apple's remote activation servers during device setup. Local device manipulation cannot bypass server-side authentication requirements. For Activation Lock removal tools, see our4MeKey online unlockercomparison page.
The "Locked to Owner" or "iPhone is Locked to Owner" message appears when a device has Activation Lock enabled and requires the associated Apple Account credentials to activate.
Enforced by Apple's activation servers, not stored locally on the device
Survives factory resets, DFU restores, firmware updates, and data erasure
Designed to prevent unauthorized use of lost or stolen Apple devices
Why Factory Reset Doesn't Remove Activation Lock
Factory resets erase local data and settings, but the Activation Lock binding exists on Apple's servers. When the device reconnects during setup, it queries the activation server and re-enforces the lock requirement. This is why "Locked to Owner" reappears even after a complete data wipe.
The phrase "ReiBoot online unlocker" typically indicates that someone is looking for a browser-based solution to bypass the Activation Lock / "Locked to Owner" screen. The confusion arises because:
Users know ReiBoot as a "fix-it" tool for iPhones and search for an online version hoping to resolve Activation Lock remotely.
Searching for "online" indicates preference for a web-based process without downloading software or connecting cables.
Many users don't realize that device repair tools (like ReiBoot) and Activation Lock removal are fundamentally different technical challenges.
The Real Solution
For Activation Lock ("Locked to Owner"), you need a verification-based unlock service or resources. LockedToOwner.com provides a free online request flow where you submit your device IMEI/serial and follow the verification process.
If you can contact the previous owner, they can sign in to iCloud.com/find, select the device, and click "Remove from Account". This immediately disables Activation Lock.
If the device is linked to YOUR Apple Account but you've forgotten the password, use Apple Account Recovery (iforgot.apple.com) to regain access. Once you recover your account, you can disable Find My.
If you're the legal owner but don't have access to the Apple Account, LockedToOwner.com provides a free online request process. Submit your device IMEI/serial and email to start the verification flow.
Warning: Avoid Bypass Scams
Services claiming to "bypass" Activation Lock using DNS tricks, software tools, or hardware mods are temporary workarounds at best and often scams. These methods cannot provide permanent unlock. Only professional unlock services provide a permanent solution.
