>>118852There's no reason you wouldn't know your own Apple ID password (which is not the same thing as the device's lockscreen password).
The only reason you wouldn't know a device's Apple ID password is if you stole it.
But yes, if for some reason you locked the device to an account you don't know the password to, your only options are to take it to an Apple store where they can verify your identity and reset the account password, to use it as a paperweight, or to give it back to whoever you stole it from.
