The Process of Removing iPhone Screen Lock

The screen passcode has been removed successfully
Mobitrix LockAway can work for both a disabled and an enabled iPhone. Here’s how it works for both of them:
If you have a disabled iPhone, Mobitrix LockAway can:
- Erase or wipe the iPhone without the passcode.
- Remove Apple ID if you no longer remember the Apple ID or Password.
- Bypass the Screen Time Passcode and let you access the iPhone without losing any data.
If the iPhone is Enabled
If the iPhone you have is enabled but is locked with a passcode, Mobitrix LockAway can do the following for you:
- It can let you access the iPhone by bypassing the iPhone passcode.
- It can cancel the password requirement for iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Method 2 - Use iPhonePass to Unlock iPhone Passcode Without Erasing Data
iPhonePass is a free tool launched by Mobitrix, which supports users to unlock iPhone passcode without data loss.
Advantages:
- Completely free.
- The unlocking process won’t cause data loss.
- This tool can unlock the iPhone 5s – iPhone X.
Disadvantages:
- iPhone models after iPhone X are not supported.
- Not available for Windows.
- You might take the risk of turning on and off the jailbreak status.
The existing iOS vulnerability can allow iPhone5s-iPhone X to be jailbroken. That is, you can obtain the super authority of your iPhone. In this case, you can delete and modify your iPhone screen passcode theoretically, even though you forget your previous passcode.
Preparation before you start:
- A MacBook
- Download a lock deletion tool – iPhonePass and jailbreak tool checkra1n.
Steps:
- Jailbreak your iPhone with Checkra1n.
- After jailbreaking, don’t set up your iPhone right away.
- Please connect your iPhone to your MacBook.
- Please establish an internet network for your iPhone and Mac.
Launch your Terminal in your MacBook and enter the command “iproxy 22 44”. - Use the iPhonePass tool to remove the screen passcode.
Double-click and delete the file of “deliphonepass.sh”.
Checkra1n is an easy and perfect jailbreaking tool. But it only works on macOS. If you are using a Windows system, this method may not work for you.
Launch Checkra1n and click Start to Jailbreak your iPhone.

Launch Checkra1n
Installing jailbreak and note that do not disconnect your iPhone until finished.

Install Jailbreak

Enter “iproxy 22 44”

Delete “deliphonepass.sh” file
At this point, your iPhone screen passcode has been removed, you can now access your iPhone as normal without losing any data on your device and reset a new one.
After resetting your iPhone screen passcode, it is recommended to turn off the jailbreak status on your iPhone. The safety status of your iPhone would be affected by jailbreak. Your iPhone will be unsafe after the jailbreak, which is a quite serious issue. A repair software named Mobitrix Perfix will help you solve this issue. Using the Standard Repair Mode in Perfix, the jailbreak status on your device will be turned off with zero data loss.
If your iPhone is any version of iPhone5s-iPhone X, using iPhonePass is a nice way to remove your iPhone screen passcode without erasing data.
However, this tool requires sufficient computer skills and knowledge, so if you want an easier way to unlock your iPhone passcode, then Mobitrix LockAway software is highly recommended.
How to Unlock iPhone Without Passcode via iPhone Functions
There are two ways that you can unlock iPhone without passcode using the functions designed by Apple. These methods will not need you to use a computer to get access to the iPhone.
Method 3 - Unlock Your iPhone without Passcode via Apple Watch
To set up your iPhone so it can be unlocked by your Apple Watch when Siri requests or if there’s an obstruction preventing Face ID from recognizing your face, follow the steps below:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Navigate to Face ID & Passcode and enter your passcode when prompted.
- Scroll to find the Unlock With Apple Watch option.
- Toggle on the setting for your Apple Watch.
How to Use
Ensure your Apple Watch is on your wrist.
Wake your iPhone and glance at its screen.
Your Apple Watch will tap your wrist to notify you once your iPhone has been successfully unlocked.
Notes:
Both the iPhone and Apple Watch should be operational and within a standard range for this feature to work efficiently.
Method 4 – Use Siri to Unlock iPhone Passcode
Before we explore how this method works, here are some of the limitations to this method:
- It only works on an enabled iPhone. The iPhone must be powered on, and the passcode must be entered at least once after turning it on. If the passcode has not been entered after turning it on, the iPhone is still in an encrypted state, and Siri won’t work.
- You will need to provide the Apple ID and the password of the Apple account to which the iPhone is linked.
- It is only available on devices running on iOS 8 to iOS 10.1.
There are some good things about this method too:
- It will not wipe the data on the iPhone.
- You will not need to restore the iPhone after it has been unlocked.
How to Unlock an iPhone with Siri
Steps:
- Press and hold the home button on the iPhone to activate Siri.
- Ask Siri “What Time is Now” and wait for it to display the time.
- Click on the clock widget, and once the list of time zones opens, click on the + icon in the upper right corner of the screen.
- Type any characters in the search box and “Select All” the characters you have typed in.
- Click “Share.”
- From the pop-up window that appears, select Message.
- In the “To” field of the new message window, paste the text that you have copied previously.
- Wait for a few seconds and then press the home button. This will take you to the home screen of the iPhone without having to enter the passcode.

Click on the + icon

Select All the characters

Select Share

Select Message and paste the text
Method 5 – Use Find My iPhone to Unlock iPhone Passcode
Find My locates lost devices and keeps track of family members. It can also erase your device and delete all personal data, including your iPhone screen passcode, except for location-related functions. Check the following requirements before trying it:
- The Find My feature must have been enabled on your locked iPhone.
- Your locked iPhone must have your iCloud account signed in.
- You need to know the Apple ID and password linked to your locked iPhone.
- Your locked iPhone must have an active network connection (wifi or cellular data).
Here’s how you can do this:
- Visit iCloud.com on any available device (PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone).
- Sign in to iCloud via your Apple ID credentials linked to the locked iPhone.
- Tap the Find iPhone option in the menu and reconfirm your sign-in.
- Click All Devices and select your iPhone.
- Tap Erase iPhone and enter your Apple ID password to verify it.
- Your iPhone will restart after the erase process is done. You can restore your iPhone backup via iCloud or iTunes (If you have one).

Sign in to your iCloud

Click Find iPhone on the menu

Click All Devices and select your iPhone

Tap Erase to delete all data
Using these methods is quick and convenient but comes with a lot of prerequisites. If you cannot fulfill even one of the conditions, you will not be able to unlock the passcode of the iPhone using these methods.
If that is the case, you can remove the forgotten passcode of an iPhone using a computer.
Method 6 - Unlock iPhone Without Passcode Via iTunes/ Finder
If you have a locked or disabled iPhone or iPad and have a PC, or haven't updated your Mac to Catalina or a later version of macOS, you can unlock iPhone via iTunes.
There are two ways of iTunes that you can use to unlock your iPhone without a passcode. Let’s explore them both in detail.
Unlock the iPhone via iTunes Recovery Mode
Here are the key points that you need to know before you use this method:
- You need to have the Apple ID and password of the Apple account on the target iPhone.
- iTunes will erase all contents and settings of the iPhone along with the passcode.
- iTunes can make a backup of the iPhone and store it on your computer, which can be restored later on the iPhone.
How to Unlock the iPhone via iTunes Recovery Mode?
- Install iTunes on a computer.
- Connect the iPhone to the computer using the lightning cable and then run iTunes.
- Press and hold the home button and power button on your iPhone until you see the iPhone booting up in recovery mode.

Unlock the iPhone via iTunes DFU Mode
Here are the key points that you need to note about this method of unlocking an iPhone:
- It needs the Apple ID and password of the Apple account on the iPhone.

How to Unlock the iPhone via iTunes DFU Mode?

Both of these methods can be used to remove the passcode from an iPhone. These methods need you to have a computer and the latest version of iTunes. One of the main troubles with these methods is that putting the iPhone into recovery or DFU mode can be difficult.
Using Finder for Mac users running Catalina or later versions
Apple has changed things for users with macOS Catalina or later.For those running these operating systems or PC users, Finder can be used to unlock an iPhone.
Steps:
- Open Finder on your Mac and plug your iPhone into the computer using USB

Method 7 - Unlock an iPhone without Entering a Passcode via Voice Control
Apple introduced the voice control feature in iOS 13. It is an accessibility feature allowing you to operate iPhone/iPad hands-free. You can just use your voice to give commands such as taking a screenshot, launching an app, setting up alarms, unlocking your iPhone without typing a passcode and many more. It is a lifesaver for people with limited mobility.
Steps to unlock iPhone via Voice Control
- Go to Settings and locate the Accessibility tab.
- Open Voice Control option.
- Wait for the file to finish downloading if you are setting voice control for the first time.
- Click on Customize Commands, click Custom, and select Create New Command.

Method 8 - Unlock iPhone via "Erase iPhone" (Without Computer)
Apple introduced the Security Lockout function in iOS 15.2. It enables you to unlock your iPhone without using a computer or iTunes. If you input the erroneous passcode more than seven times, your iPhone will display the Security Lockout screen, which includes an Erase iPhone option in the bottom right corner.

No matter what reasons caused it, you will never get stuck on the lock screen and get rid of those annoying notifications.
