if you forgot your passcode on your
iphone or your ipad there is really one
thing you could do let me show you
exactly how to unlock your iphone if you
forgot your passcode so this requires
you to basically reset your phone and
then recover your data from the latest
backup now if you have icloud backup
enabled for example this should be a
pretty simple process if you've never
backed up your phone though you should
not do this because it will erase
everything that's already on your phone
and you'll have to back it up there is
no other way around this there is
nothing else that you could do besides
what i'm about to show you but for
forgotten passcode the first thing we
need to do is turn off our phone so on
the phone i have here is volume up and
the side button here and then it's going
to get you this page where you're just
going to shut it off that's the very
first step and on older iphone is the
home button here and then the power off
on top either way make sure you turn off
your phone first
and then when the phone is off you need
a charging cable this is just my
charging cable this lightning cable you
also need a computer so you could either
borrow one use your own or go to the
apple store and they could help you with
a computer there but there is no other
way you can't do this just on your phone
you do need to connect this to a
computer so i've done that then let me
show you what to do next okay so now you
have to hold down your power button on
your phone
it's either here or on older iphones
it's over here and plug in the cable
to the computer here at the same time so
i'm going to hold this down and plug
this in at the same time and you got to
keep holding this down so if you see the
apple logo we need to keep holding it we
need to hold it to get to
our recovery mode i'll show you what
that looks like in a second
there it is this is the recovery mode
here on your iphone now let me show you
what happens on the computer here now if
you're on a mac you'll see a page on
your finder window that looks like this
it'll just pull up your iphone over here
and it'll show you this if you're on a
pc you'll have to open itunes or
download itunes i'll put a link to the
apple itunes page for pc but either way
you'll come to this page it says update
your phone without erasing its content
and that's not what we want in this case
we need to restore our phone to his
factory setting to bypass the other
option which is our passcode so i'm
going to press restore iphone because i
know i have a backup on icloud if you do
not though do not press this this will
erase your phone but this is really the
only option to bypass forgotten
passcodes it's a very secure option from
apple there's no other way besides
restoring your iphone here to get to the
next page so i'm going to press this and
then you'll have to press restore and
update and it will update it to the
latest version
of available ios update here if you
press this option and once you do this
you will basically have a brand new
iphone you'll go through the entire
setup process again and then watch my
video if you need help
basically restoring from the latest
backup hopefully you have the latest
backup because this is the only way to
get your iphone back if you forgot your
passcode i hope you found this video
