Apple itself tells users how to bypass the lock on the device and what to do if they forgot the password on their iPhone or iPad. Moreover, this is the official method, which is suitable for those who have somehow forgotten the password for their device and do not want to walk with a "brick".
In fact, there are 2 ways to recover a forgotten iPhone or iPad password. Let's start with the more advanced one, simply because it doesn't even need a computer.
The first way to recover password on iphone
So, let's say you forgot your iPhone password or worse, entered it incorrectly several times and the device is locked. In this case, you can remotely erase the device, of course, along with the password. But for this it is necessary that the "Find iPhone" function is enabled and the device itself is connected to the Internet. You need to from any other iPhone, iPad, iPod to the Find iPhone application, select your device, click Actions and select "erase" from the options offered.
Or you can go to icloud.com from your computer, enter your Apple ID information, go to the "Find iPhone" tab, select your device here and click "Erase" among the options offered. Please note that this will delete all data, including the password. If you do not have a backup copy of the device, then you will not be able to restore them. But, even if you do not have a backup, then do not panic, you should have a computer with which you have already synchronized your device (when you connected your iPhone to your computer for the first time, you clicked "trust"). Through it, you can make a backup and back up files.
After you remotely erase the data on your iPhone, it will be restored to factory settings, you will be greeted by the first launch screen and just here, you can set a new password. The main thing is not to forget him a second time. And then they will already be offered a choice, either to set up the iPhone as a new one, or to restore from an iTunes or iCloud backup in order to return the previous look to the smartphone, together with all the files and, most importantly, with a new password.
Second way how to bypass iphone lock
Well, and method number 2. Connect the device to the computer, then force the start of recovery mode by holding down the Home and Power buttons on the iPhone 6s and below and Power and "Volume Down" on the new iPhone 7-10 and do not release these buttons even when they appear Apple logo, and keep holding until you see the iTunes icon. Then a window will appear on the computer where you will be asked to "restore" or "update". Choose "restore" and wait for iTunes to do everything necessary. If suddenly something goes wrong, then just repeat the procedure that was described earlier.
Then the same result, we have before us a completely restored device and either you need to set it up as new and lose all files, or restore from a backup and continue using your iPhone or iPad as before, with a new password.
If you are not one of those, then we hope that you will go now and turn on automatic backup to iCloud, or at least manually back up the data to your computer via iTunes. Just in case, there will definitely be no harm from this.
