so let's say somehow someway you've
forgotten the password on your iPhone or
iPad and are locked out you've tried
every code you could think of but just
can't seem to get in here's a few
options for getting your premium device
back online it's important to note that
you'll need to know the iCloud login
information that was used on that device
we have three options available for
unlocking your device so let's get
started
if you've ever synced your iPhone or
iPad with iTunes you can easily restore
your device just connect it to a
computer running iTunes once you reach
the setup screen click the restore
button but be sure not to hit restore
backup instead if you previously
configured Find My iPhone through iCloud
on your device you can use that to erase
and restore it assuming it's connected
to Wi-Fi or Wireless from another device
go to the online iCloud device locator
and sign in with the Apple ID password
select your lock device and click erase
after the erase procedure you can
restore from a backup or set up the
device as a new one then there's a last
resort recovery mode plug your device
into a computer and launch iTunes on
devices with a mechanical home button
like our iPad press the sleep/wake
button in the home button at the same
time continue holding both buttons down
after the Apple logo shows up and until
you get the recovery mode screen on
devices with the solid state home button
like the iPhone 7 use the volume down
button instead of the home button a
prompt should show up within iTunes once
this happens hit restore after the
restoration process is complete your
device should be able to be set up and
used if you enjoy this video like it and
