Sometimes it happens that you forget your passcode and you are not able to crack it. Now, what to do? Every problem has a solution, you just have to find the best way out. One way out is to reinstate the iPhone but the problem with restoring is you will be losing all your data. So, for this, you just have to read this article in which I am going to write some way outs which are complex ones but I assure you that you will not lose your data and this will help you restore your iPhone as well.
To do so, you just need an iMac or a PC in which you have backed up your iPhone once in the past. If you haven’t done that, this method won’t work because your iPhone needs to be added to the trusted devices list on your PC.
Step 1: Plug in your iPhone with iMac or PC with the help of a lightning cable.
Step 2: Launch the iTunes menu and choose your iPhone from the list which you can find on the top left corner of your computer screen.
Step 3: Once you select your device, your iMac will automatically begin syncing your iPhone with the PC. Wait until it is done. You can navigate to Main Menu to find the time of the latest backup taken.
In case, the backup has not started automatically, then it is possible that you have activated the feature which stops the iOS devices to sync automatically. Open iTunes preferences >devices and then uncheck the option that says “Prevent iPods, iPads, and iPhones from syncing automatically“.
Steps to Remove Passcode in iOS Device using iTunes
Now we can restore the iPhone because we have the backup with us. You have to perform a factory reset on your iPhone, it means that the whole iPhone gets wiped out and after a factory reset, we can restore the data that we have as a backup.
Step 1. Connect your phone to the PC if it is disconnected, then in iTunes navigate to the main menu and choose your device. Next, click on the Restore button.
Step 2: Now you need to Authenticate and then confirm the restore through a window prompted in front of your screen. Wait until it is completed. Usually, it will take not less than thirty minutes depending upon your internet speed.
Step 3: Once you have completed the restore process, iTunes will prompt you the way you want the new device to be set up. You have to select “restore from iTunes backup” and your latest backup will take its place on your iPhone. All your applications and data will be restored as it was earlier
Important Tip
If “find my iPhone” is enabled on your iOS device, there might be some issues restoring your device. So the first thing you have to do is to turn off “find my iPhone”. To do so, you have to visit icloud.com on your PC, and log in to your iOS account associated with the device. Next, click the devices button and remove your phone from that list. It will automatically disable “find my iPhone” function.
