    I have an iPhone 5c that was originally bought in n Apple Store SIM free SIM unlocked.

    My son had it for the past two years. I have it now wanted to sell it but my issue is that when I try to do a factory reset it wants a pin. I haven't a clue what the pin was so when I go to forget pin it tells me to plug it into my pc and iTunes to generate new pin.

    My desktop pc is broke and unable to use, any suggestions what to do please?

    Do you have "find my phone enabled"?
