Hey guys. Via here from AppGeeker's channel. Today's video is about how to reset your iPhone
without a password. Whether you're intend to factory reset a passcode
locked iPhone, a disabled iPhone, or a glitchy iPhone,
there're mainly three ways to reset your iPhone, using iPhone Unlocker, iTunes and iCloud.
I'll walk you through these methods step by step
and show you how to factory reset iPhone 6 without passcode,
which is basically the same in iPhone 7, 8, X, 11, 12 or newer models.
Okay, let's start with iPhone Unlocker. This software claims to factory reset any
iOS devices without entering any lock screen passcode
or knowing the password to unlock and regain access to the device.
As a dedicated lock removal tool, it can also bypass iCloud activation lock
and remove Screen Time passcode by resetting the iPhone back to factory settings.
Now, go to AppGeeker.com, find iPhone Unlocker and download the tool to factory reset iPhone
without passcode or iTunes. Once got the software installed, open the
tool and click on Wipe Passcode panel. Next, hit the Start button.
When asked, connect your iPhone to the computer using a USB cable.
You should see the detailed device information of your iPhone.
If the tool can't recognize your device, put it into recovery mode first.
Unplug the cable from your iPhone and turn it off.
Keep pressing the Side button, drag the slider and iPhone will shut down.
Then, keep holding the Home button while reconnect your iPhone to the computer.
You'll need to press the Volume down button if you have an iPhone 7,
or press the Side button if you have an iPhone 8 or newer models.
Now, release the button and the iPhone is in recovery mode.
Now, the program should detect the iPhone you want to factory reset.
Select the corresponding information for your iPhone and hit Start button.
Now, the software is downloading the firmware package.
This can be used to factory reset your iPhone without any lock screen passcode or password.
Once done, read the warning carefully and enter “0000” in the field.
Then, press the Unlock button to trigger the iPhone factory reset process
It may take around 15 minutes to complete factory resetting iPhone.
Once resetting iPhone done, your locked, disabled or unresponsive iPhone will restart and be
unlocked and working again. Quickly set up your iPhone, and here choose
a new iPhone passcode or don’t use the passcode, and then, your iPhone has been factory reset
to a new one to be used again.
Alright, the next part is how to reset iPhone to factory settings without passcode using
iTunes or Finder. I'll use the Finder on iMac and show you how
to factory reset iPhone 6 via this tool. If you’re using a PC or a Mac computer running
macOS Mojave 10.14 or older, you'll need to use iTunes to factory reset
an iPhone without a passcode. The whole process of both are almost the same.
Alright, before performing an iPhone reset, put your iPhone into recovery mode first.
Shut down my iPhone. Hold the Home button and connect to computer.
Okay, release the button. Launch iTunes or Finder on your computer and
click your iPhone that you need to factory reset.
You'll see a new window. Update option is to update your iPhone to
the latest iOS software version. Restore option is to wipe all the data and
factory reset the Apple iPhone. So, choose Restore.
Continue following the on-screen instructions and then
iTunes or Finder will download the iOS software firmware and start factory resetting your
iPhone without knowing the password. When you're prompted that this iPhone has
been restored to factory settings, click OK and you're done.
The final method is to reset iPhone without passcode or computer using iCloud.
As long as you've enabled Find My iPhone feature in your iPhone,
you can erase your iPhone without password on lock screen and reset it to factory settings.
Sign into iCloud.com via your Apple ID and password in any web browser.
Choose Find My. Click to expand the All Devices menu.
Choose the iPhone you want to factory reset. Hit Erase iPhone. Choose Erase and enter your
Apple ID and password again. Then, wait until it deletes all the data and
your iPhone restores to factory settings.
Hope you've grasped how to factory reset your iPhone without password or passcode.
