What’s up guys. Via here from Appgeeker. Today I’m gonna show you how to unlock iPhone
with iTunes. This tutorial is helpful to unlock a disabled
iPhone when you entered the wrong passwords too many times.
You can also use the same steps here to unlock your iPhone if you forgot your passcode and
you’re locked out of your device completely.
Alright, now here’s an iPhone 6 that is disabled and I’ll use it to show you how
to unlock your iPhone with iTunes step by step.
Note that after unlocking your disabled iPhone or your locked device, you’ll lose all the
data, unless you’ve had a backup of the data in
either iCloud or iTunes to restore from.
Okay first, use an Apple USB cable to connect your iPhone to the computer and launch iTunes
or Finder. If the iTunes or Finder can detect your device,
you can directly click your iPhone in iTunes or Finder and hit the Restore button to unlock
your iPhone.
If not, disconnect your iPhone from computer and put it into recovery mode.
The following steps can be used to put iPhone 6, 5s, or below models into recovery mode
to unlock it. If you’re using iPhone 7, 8, or newer models,
follow the instructions in the description below
or click the card in the top left corner of this video to enter the recovery mode.
Alright first, power off your iPhone. Keep pressing the Power button.
When you see the power off slider, move it to turn off the device.
Then, keep holding the Home button while connecting your device to computer.
Release the button when your iPhone shows a computer icon with USB cable.
Now your iPhone is in recovery mode. iTunes or Finder should detect your iPhone
and ask if you want to Update or Restore your iPhone.
To unlock iPhone 6 with iTunes, click Restore in the dialog box.
Then, hit Restore and Update. Press the Next button and hit Agree.
Now, iTunes or Finder will start downloading the iOS software, which might take 15 to 20
minutes to finish. Once done, it’ll start extracting the software
and then preparing iPhone for restore.
Now, as you can see, the Apple logo shows up on your iPhone.
Then, iTunes or Finder will start restoring the software from the iPhone you’re trying
to unlock. Wait patiently until the progress bar goes
to the end. Once finished, click OK button. Your iPhone will restart and it means that
your iPhone is unlocked now.
After unlocking your phone through iTunes, the next step is to set it up.
Open your iPhone, choose the language and select your country.
Here, tap Set up manually. Connect to the Wi-Fi. Tap Continue.
Tap Set Up later in Settings. Create a passcode for unlocking your iPhone.
When you’re in Apps & Data screen, if you have a backup in iCloud or iTunes, you can
tap Restore from iCloud Backup or Restore from Mac or PC to get back the
data. If not, tap Don’t Transfer Apps & Data.
Finish the following on-screen prompts and then you’ll get access to your device again.
Aside from using iTunes to unlock your device, iPhone Unlocker is also a reliable option
to unlock your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch by removing the lock screen passcode, Screen
Time passcode, Touch ID, Face ID, Apple ID and more.
To get this software, go to Appgeeker.com. Find iPhone unlocker and download the tool
on your PC or Mac. Once installed, open the tool and connect
your iPhone to the computer. Click on the Wipe Passcode panel. Next, hit
Start button. If the tool can't detect your iPhone, put
it into recovery mode first. Here, confirm your device information, then
press the Start button. Then, the program will start downloading firmware
package. When it completes, hit the Unlock button.
Next, read the warning carefully. Then, enter “0000” and press the Unlock button to
start unlocking your iPhone. Once done, set it up as a new phone or restore
from iTunes or iCloud backup.
Alright guys, that’s it for using iTunes or Finder to unlock your device.
