hey guys welcome back again to top
capable iphone unavailable firstly don't
panic we will show you how to unlock
when your iphone stuck on iphone
unavailable in lock screen
there are several ways to unlock your
device without having to leave it
unavailable forever
we are going to start with two apple
official routes to reset the device and
both are free
if those doesn't work for you we
recommend you to use a dedicated
unlocking tool from appgeeker named
iphone unlocker that will get rid of the
unavailable lock screen it's easy to use
and the download link is put in the
description section below
scroll down a bit and you will find that
alright iphone lock screen stuck on
iphone unavailable or security lockout
could happen in ios 15.2 or later
if your ios a little bit older it could
be iphone as disabled connect to itunes
but it's the same thing
the alert means your phone locks itself
and appears after you enter the
incorrect passcode more than five times
in a row
maybe you forgot your passcode or
perhaps the device screen rubbing your
leg is causing the passcodes to be
entered wrong while in your pocket and
eventually the lock screen gets
unavailable unexpectedly for a brief
period of time 1 minute 5 minutes 15
minutes and 1 hour
the device will be locked out in the
12th failed attempt now folks generally
there are two reset strategies that you
can apply to unlock an iphone when it
says iphone unavailable depending on how
your lock screen looks like number one
use a computer to reset your iphone if
you can't see the erase iphone option at
the bottom
when your lock screen displays iphone
unavailable or security lockout message
in the middle and right beneath it it's
the emergency button you need to restore
your device through recovery mode using
itunes or finder and get access to set
it up from a backup or as new number two
use the erase iphone option from the
lock screen
it should be located at the bottom right
corner of the lock screen
the resetting process requires no
computer no itunes and it's a good way
to unlock your iphone unavailable screen
and remove the passcode
likewise this will restore the phone to
factory settings giving you access to
set up the device restore data and
settings from a backup and set a new
passcode or face id okay let's start to
taking the method one get your iphone to
enter recovery mode and erase it with
computer
this is a common way to unlock
unavailable screen if the lock screen
has no erase iphone option if your phone
has no network connection or if your
phone is running an ios lower than ios
15.2 alright we need a windows 10 pc or
later or a mac
i use pc here and it's windows 10
and also we need the latest version of
itunes as well as the original lightning
cable that is used to connect your phone
to the computer okay everything is ready
now grab the iphone and it's in an
unavailable lock screen
don't connect it to your computer if
it's connected make sure to unplug it
what we need to do first is turn off the
iphone on iphone 8 10 11 12 13 series or
later iphone se second and third
generation press and hold the side
button and either volume button until
power off slider appears
then drag the slider to turn off your
iphone wait for the lock screen turns
totally black to ensure the phone is
turning off completely on iphone 7 6s 6
first generation of se or earlier press
and hold the power button
keep holding on it until you see power
off slider on the screen
drag the slider to shut down your phone
once it is completely turned off boot
your iphone into recovery mode by
holding a special hardware button which
includes the side button volume down
button or the home button depending on
your device while immediately connecting
your iphone to the computer for my newer
iphone actually for iphone 8 10 11 12 13
series or later iphone se second and
third generation it's the side button
now let's do this press the side button
keep holding on it and grab the usb
cable to connect your phone to the
computer
don't let go the side button until you
see the recovery mode screen
for iphone 7 or iphone 7 plus press and
hold the volume down button and attach
your iphone to the computer
wait for a few seconds and the recovery
mode screen should appears
then release the volume down button for
iphone 6s or earlier we hold down the
home button while connecting the device
to the computer
when the recovery mode screen appears
let go of your finger on the home button
now folks my device right here gets into
recovery mode yours might also look like
this okay now we're gonna turn to the
computer open itunes or finder
immediately you can see a dialog box pop
up with restore and update option
to fix unavailable iphone we're going to
navigate and select restore option which
will restore the device to factory
defaults and remove the unavailable
message on the lock screen
continue to choose restore and update
option to let the reset begin factory
resetting your device through recovery
mode is going to save you a lot
headaches although it does clear away
all your data including your lock screen
passcode
but however if your data was synced or
backed up with your icloud account or
computer all your files will be back
within minutes of setting up your phone
and restoring the backup
right now the reset process completes
iphone opens normally with a hello
screen that means you've successfully
bypassed iphone unavailable lock screen
and remove the passcode you've forgotten
let's go on set up the phone step by
step swipe up the screen to unlock the
phone choose your language and country
and region reconnect your phone to wi-fi
network continue here set up your face
id and passcode now or later then follow
the prompts until you reach apps and
data screen if you have a backup to
restore your data choose restore from
icloud backup or restore from mac or pc
if not choose don't transfer apps and
data instead now sign in with your apple
id and password so you can use your
phone
follow the prompts until getting into
the screen that says welcome to iphone
tap get started then it's gonna you know
get you back to your home screen we're
gonna fix lock screen stuck on iphone
unavailable
you'll pretty much be all set okay now
we come to another case of using a race
iphone option
when your unavailable iphone gives you
the erase iphone option on the lock
screen you could easily unlock your
device without a computer nearby
this is the official way that was
firstly introduced on ios 15.2 or later
for erasing and unlocking the locked
iphone without connecting to itunes or
finder
sound great before we get started here's
something you need to know first the
erase iphone option is gonna appear on
the lock screen when it says iphone
unavailable or security lockout try
again in 15 minutes one hour or more
second your device needs to stay
connected to internet network don't try
to restart it while it's unavailable or
locked otherwise you'll lose network
connection to execute the erase iphone
procedure third you need your apple
credential to reset your device if you
forgot your apple id passcode this won't
work
okay with that in mind let me show you
how erase iphone works to unlock the
available screen all right on the bottom
of the screen tap erase iphone as you
can see erase all content and settings
screen tap on erase iphone again to
confirm next you guys are required to
sign out of apple id
enter your passcode you used on your
unavailable phone to erase it it's gonna
take a couple of seconds to verify then
it's gonna look something like this with
an apple logo and progress bar on the
screen so your iphone is just erasing
itself it's quite the same with the
factory reset in itunes but it's a bit
faster convenient it would get your
device unlocked without having to enter
into recovery mode and sit beside a
computer this will break into ios system
and delete all data and settings as well
as the lock screen data so when the
process completes you will see your
iphone display a hello screen it
literally opens as a new device now
folks it all sound good
follow the setup assistant to access to
the home screen without passcode
again if you've backed up your device
before it's been unavailable you don't
have to lose your data you'll be guided
through restoring your data apps and
settings back to your device
i just show you in the previous method
so i fast forward this part here
