So guys in this video tutorial, I’ll be showing you how to unlock iPhone Unavailable on iPhone
10R, for you forgetting the passcode and entering several incorrect passcodes on the lock screen.
You have to erase your iPhone if it’s unavailable, or say,
factory reset your device while unlocking unavailable iPhone 10R.
You can see, on my iPhone 10R, I forgot my passcode. On the lock screen, I tried a wrong
passcode. Wrong passcode, wrong passcode. Keep going, wrong passcode, and wrong passcode. I tried
another wrong passcode, it’s not going and iPhone 10R displays iPhone Unavailable on its screen.
Now, count down timer is out, keep typing the codes over and over.
When the 9th failed attempt reaches, now what we see on the lock screen is Security Lockout.
So how do you fix iPhone Unavailable or Security Lockout on your iPhone 10R
when you entered the wrong passcode too many times to make the device locked.
Don’t worry, since iOS 15.2 or iPadOS 15.2, Apple has introduced the portable
Erase iPhone feature to reset the phone without passcode and without computer,
whenever the phone becomes unavailable or is in security lockout.
We know in the earlier iOS, it’s the iPhone is disabled connect to iTunes message,
and there’s no Erase iPhone option provided. We have another video for this.
You can click the link on the card above or down in the description to solve this.
Come back here, before the reset your device, we need to know that
the Erase iPhone option appears only when you’re using iOS 15.2 or later,
and having a connection with a workable internet network.
Wi-Fi network or cellular network is okay. Note that, if you turn off your iPhone while
it’s unavailable and then turn it back on, you will lose internet network connection
and you can’t see the Erase iPhone option. Plus, you need to keep typing the passcode
after 8 failed entries in order to receive the Erase iPhone option being shown up.
The number five point is, make sure you have your Apple ID and passcode.
So with all these, we’re gonna with the first fix: erase iPhone 10R without computer using Apple ID.
Now, we’re in the iPhone lock screen that indicating iPhone Unavailable try again
in 15 minutes, along with the Erase iPhone option at the lower right of the screen.
To reset locked iPhone, we’re gonna tap on Erase iPhone.
Next, the Erase All Content & Settings page says your iPhone is in security lockout that you can
try your passcode again or erase it now. In our case, we proceed with
Erase iPhone at the bottom. Now input your password for your Apple ID,
and then the process of erasing the iPhone begins. Alright, you could see the Apple logo and progress
bar on the screen. Your phone erases itself and restarts after the procedure comes to 100%.
When you see the Hello screen, go ahead to set it up. Follow the prompts until you gets
to Apps & Data scree. If you have an iCloud or computer backup, you can choose Restore from
iCloud Backup or Restore from Mac or PC, and then restore everything back to the phone. If there’s
no backup available, tap on Don’t Transfer Apps & Data to set up the phone as new. We need to enter
the Apple ID and password. So guys, this is how we can erase iPhone using Apple ID without computer.
All right, in case you don’t see the Erase iPhone option, or perhaps, no matter how you crazily tap
on Erase iPhone at the bottom right corner, nothing happens. The option isn’t working.
Fortunately, you can erase the iPhone 10R via icloud.com.
Before resetting it to factory defaults, be sure that you’ve enabled
Find My feature on your phone and connect it to the Internet.
