Are you tired of having to enter your passcode every time you unlock your iPhone? Or perhaps you’ve forgotten your passcode and can’t access your device anymore? Don’t worry, in this tutorial, we will guide you on how to remove the passcode from your iPhone.
Removing the Passcode
Step 1: Before proceeding, ensure that you have a recent backup of your iPhone. This is important in case anything goes wrong during the process.
Step 2: Connect your iPhone to your computer using a USB cable and launch iTunes.
Step 3: Once iTunes recognizes your device, select it from the list of devices.
Step 4: In the Summary tab, click on the “Restore iPhone” button.
Step 5: A pop-up window will appear asking if you want to restore your iPhone. Click on “Restore” to confirm.
Note: Restoring your iPhone will erase all data and settings, including the passcode. If you have a backup, you can restore it after removing the passcode.
Bypassing Passcode Using Recovery Mode
If restoring through iTunes doesn’t work due to various reasons like Find My iPhone being enabled or an unknown error occurring, you can try bypassing the passcode using recovery mode. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Connect your iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes.
Step 2: Force restart your device by pressing and holding both the Home button (or Volume Down button for iPhones without a Home button) and the Power button simultaneously until you see the recovery mode screen.
Step 3: A pop-up window will appear in iTunes, stating that your iPhone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored.
Step 4: Click on the “Restore” button to start the restoration process. iTunes will download the necessary software and restore your iPhone to factory settings.
Note: Restoring your iPhone using recovery mode will erase all data and settings, so it is crucial to have a backup beforehand. After restoring, you can choose to restore from a backup or set up your iPhone as new.
