How to restore your iPhone if you forgot your passcode | Apple Support

[@BreakTime10101]

Why not just offer a way to unlock the phone with your Apple ID and password, instead of erasing everything?

[@xash06]

Ikr LMAO

[@nate5297]

LOL this is just fantastic... now I lose all my photos and data of my family because this company refuses to make another way to save your data

[@metazach]

to ensure the utmost security, so not even the FBI can get into an iPhone

[@whiskeytangofoxtrot9632]

@@metazachyet someone like me with a very basic knowledge of this shit can get into one? not to mention on a computer from 2005… it’s hard not impossible. besides the FBIs already in your phone and they been there

[@MaxKito2]

Apple I have a question! When we forget the passcode, wouldn’t it be much easier to just enter the following when asked by the system: Apple ID, Apple email, personal, email, personal phone number, or similar that’s already attached to each user’s account, instead of restarting and going through all these other things you mentioned? And you also have other means of authentication like fingerprint and Face ID within each iPhone, so why not use these as well? I mean is just a thought. Thanks 😊

[@leemagaming696]

If someone forced u to have ur face or thumb scanned they could just get in that way thats why n passwords can be leaked so i guess its more secure for ur data and private information like for example if someone had photos or vids where they are nude u wouldnt want someone to leak them because ur login details got leaked

[@dragnoft619]

once everything was done it still gives me the 'iphone not available' message

[@Tugboat-R-Us]

I have an iPhone 14 that’s on ios 17 and the password reset option didn’t show on the bottom right. Ridiculous

[@BhaiLazer]

Same Problem. I agree 100%

[@Freebirddaddy]

What if there is no forgot password or erase iPhone? 🤔

[@FlintnChirt]

Same

[@mari23ification]

Thank you so so much for sharing this. I was able to unlock my old phone with no problems. I wish I saw this video couple of months ago that would have saved me from buying a new phone. Anyway, I am glad to have 2 phones, I will just give the old one to my son 😊

[@ikxvyaz]

Did your phone completely reset? As in none of the photos, apps, etc. NOT stay? I forgot my password, and I have lots of memories and important apps I need for school and personal use. Please let know, thank you!

[@TJS2009]

I have a question for Apple. Somehow I managed to change a setting that required a password to use my face ID. For whatever reason the password it was now making me use was not the password that I have used since I bought my iphone. So I followed the steps to wirelessly reset my iphone using the ios 16 and earlier method. I know my apple id and apple id password but when I try to transfer my data back to the same phone it asks for the old password again. I was wondering if I am missing something or if there genuinely is no way for me to recover my data.

[@Aurelionitee]

for anyone wondering, you can erase the data on your phone using another phone with your icloud, after that, just set up your phone again

[@laritzam]

could you tell me how you do this? I can't figure it out.

APPLE PLEASE ANSWER There is no erase option on my phone now what can i do without using mac....? Please answer

[@aleajohnson5599]

You have to have a computer

[@PhantomX768]

If I have the ability to punch in a few pieces of information and get full access to my backup files, why can't I enter the exact same info and just change my password. I don't see an actual point to just delete everything. If someone really knew that much about you to be able to get into your phone they can do the exact same thing on a complete different device and just have their way with your back up. Make it make sense,

[@FH-wb9ti]

face ID is not working when forgot passcode. It's a BUG

[@venykrid]

More of a limitation, your internal storage is encrypted with your pin so it can't be opened with your face because your device doesn't know the correct passphrase either so it can't open it. Same reason why you can't just log in with your Apple ID. Once you unlock your phone once the storage is decrypted so you can use biometrics

Unfortunately the Reset your iPhone using a computer don't work, on a locked phone (I forgot my password) with a mac M1 Pro at least. From the finder, it find my phone, download the firmware, once it download it, the phone reboot into a normal mode showing it's locked. So nothing happen. 2 times the same thing.
