If you do NOT know the screen code and you do not know the iCloud account of your Apple iPhone 7 Plus
In this case it is best to contact Apple or take it to an official store to verify that you are the owner and restore it.
If you are not the owner, we recommend that you get in touch with him, if you have found it on the street, it is best to take him to the police so that the owner can recover it, it is impossible to restore an iPhone without the iCloud account and if you get may have been blocked by IMEI.
