How to Restore Your iPhone if You Forgot Your Passcode

You can use recovery mode to restore your iPhone or iPad if you've forgotten your passcode.

To access the recovery mode, you need a computer and a cable to connect your iPhone to the computer. If you don't have a computer, you'll need to borrow one.

It must be turned off, though, before you may connect it. Holding the side button will allow you to connect the device.

Using iTunes or the Finder window on your computer, you can restore your iPhone.

Everything will be erased as a result, however, you can restore everything using a backup.

You cannot restore the deleted data if you don't have a PC backup or an iCloud backup.

Youre a life saver . God bless you, thank God i Found you at the time i did because my son locked his iphone and I'm not a iphone user because o don't like it with something like this happening it's convinced me why i don't like it in ghe first place.

But we needed to go on holiday in a few days and I was worried on how to go about it as he will need his phone, but this process was so easy and straightforward and it worked . Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!!

I'm stuck at the point where my Mac is downloading the software for my iphone. While it's on the iPhone Recovery Mode, it just disconnects randomly and its happened multiple times now.

Thanks for this video dude this helped me a lot

I would use the iCloud backup, but the issue I face is having items in the backup that I don’t want reloaded. I can’t work out how to totally clear unwanted content from the Apple iCloud storage area. Would be great if you could explain how to do that (i.e. completely remove content) or point me to a past clip where you do explain it. Thnx.

[TheresaMalone-qo]

I’m trying to use an old phone my daughter finished with years ago and I think reset to factory settings (when I turn it on I get hello in all different languages) but it’s still asking me for a pass code and she can’t remember it. I tried above tutorial but it didn’t work for me unfortunately and just locked me out for 15 minutes. Any help please
