Hey guys. Via here from AppGeeker. As reported, one in every twenty iPhone users
forgot lock screen passcode and get locked out of iPhone.
If you have the same issue and want to unlock the iPhone again,
we’ll show you how to get into any locked iPhone when you didn’t know the passcode.
If you’ve tried to get into a locked iPhone by guessing the forgotten passcode and after
entering the wrong passcode too many times, you get an error message just like this, fret
not, as we can fix it, too. You can also check out this video to bypass
the screen without the password.
The first method is to use iTunes to restore your locked iPhone.
Connect your iPhone to computer and launch iTunes or Finder.
If you’ve synced the iPhone to the computer before, iTunes or Finder will detect your
iPhone even when you don’t know the passcode. Then,
locate your device and click Restore iPhone button to get into your locked iPhone.
If iTunes won’t recognize your iPhone and you didn’t know the lock screen passcode
to unlock the iPhone, put it into recovery mode.
Disconnect your iPhone from the computer and turn off the device by pressing the power
button if you’re using iPhone 7, 6, or earlier
model, or holding both Power button and either Volume
button if you’re using iPhone 8 or later models.
Then, connect your iPhone into computer while holding Home button in iPhone 6 or older
model, holding Volume down button in iPhone 7,
or holding the Power button in iPhone 8 or new models.
When you see a screen with a cable showing to computer or iTunes, let go of the button.
Locate your iPhone in iTunes or Finder and in the opening dialog box,
choose Restore for getting into locked iPhone. Then, follow the on-screen instructions to
remove the lock screen passcode from your iPhone.
As a note, this will erase everything from your device,
so make sure you have a recent backup so that you can restore the data back.
Now, your locked iPhone will open without needing
the passcode and you can set it up to use again.
If you’re finding a way to unlock a locked iPhone 5s, 6, 7 or other iPhone models without
iTunes, give iPhone Unlocker a shot. It has integrated everything required for
unlocking any iOS device without any password and
embedded the on-screen instructions to walk you through the process for removing the passcode.
When you’re ready, go to AppGeeker.com, find iPhone Unlocker and download the tool
on your PC or Mac. 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 by following
the on-screen instructions. When the program manages to detect your device,
select the corresponding device type for your phone.
Then, hit the Start button. Now, the software is downloading the firmware
package, which can be used to unlock and get into your
locked iPhone without entering the passcode. Once done, read the warning carefully and
enter “0000” in the field. Then, your final step is to press the Unlock
button.
After the unlocking process completes, the previous lock screen passcode will be
removed and your iPhone will be unlocked. If you’ve enabled Find My iPhone and you
still remember your Apple ID and password, you can get into an iPhone using iCloud when
you can’t remember the lock passcode.
Go to iCloud.com in any browser and log in with your Apple ID and password.
Click Find My iPhone. From the top of the window, hit All Devices
and choose your iPhone to get in. Hit Erase iPhone option.
Hit Erase, enter your Apple ID account again and then it’ll erase your iPhone completely.
That’s it for how to get in a locked iPhone without the passcode.
