How to unlock an iPhone without a passcode or face ID in 5 easy ways?

Method 1: How to unlock iPhone without Passcode or Face ID via the “Erase iPhone” Option (Without PC)

“Erase iPhone” is an Apple option on iOS 15.2 or later which basically bypasses your locked iPhone without a PC. In simpler words, it will erase all the data including the passcode on your iPhone and you can set it up as a new device.

Here are some requirements for using the “Erase iPhone” option before you move to the steps:

• Your Locked iPhone must run on iOS 15.2 or later.
• You must be signed in to your Apple ID before you get locked out of your iPhone otherwise, you will not see the “Erase iPhone” interface.
• Knowing the Apple ID and password is a must for this method.
• Your locked iPhone must have a secure Wi-Fi or cellular connection.

Steps

1. To get to the Erase iPhone option in the “iPhone Unavailable try again in 15 minutes” interface, you need to enter the wrong passcode 7 times.

5. Wait for the progress to finish and your iPhone will restart automatically. Then you can set it up as a new device from scratch

Note:

1. After testing this method several times personally, I found that the 'Erase iPhone' button can stop working periodically. If you are unable to click it, you can enter the incorrect passcode one more time to get to the 'Security Lockout' interface again. This interface also has the 'Erase iPhone' option at the lower-right part. Now you can tap it successfully. However, if you still find the button not working, check the catalog to select another available method.

2. Apple has released the “Erase iPhone” option for limited iOS versions and iPhone models only. Therefore, you might not always find this option on your iPhone. Till now, Apple has not officially announced the reason behind the absence of this option in some iPhone models.

Are you unable to fulfill all the requirements above? Or couldn’t find the “Erase iPhone” option? Nothing to worry about because using a professional unlocking tool will easily solve the problem within 20 minutes

Method 4: How to unlock an iPhone without a Passcode or Face ID via iTunes

Initially, Apple introduced iTunes in 2001 as a media software to play, download and manage audio and video files. In 2011, iTunes introduced iOS users to back up and sync data across multiple devices. The “Restore” option of iTunes can unlock your iPhone or iPad in case you forget your passcode.

Though iTunes can restore your device and give you the access to set it up as a new one, it is not recommended at all as a professional unlocking tool because of so many bugs. Last time, it was updated on December 7, 2020. For testing purposes, I experimented via iTunes and the whole procedure took 3 hours and I encountered different errors such as error 3004, error 3194, error 1100, error 4000, and error 4013.

If you still want to experiment with the iTunes unlocking process then here are the steps.

Preparations

1. A PC or Mac
• On a PC: Ensure the installation of Windows 8 or later and the latest version of iTunes.
• On a Mac:
1. macOS Catalina or newer, launch a Finder window.
2. macOS Mojave or older, install and open the latest version of iTunes.
2. A compatible USB cable

Steps

1. Turn off your iPhone

1. Disconnect your iPhone from the computer if you previously connected it.
2. Turn your iPhone off according to the model of your iPhone:
• iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X, and later, including iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generation): Keep holding both the side button and the Volume down button until the power off slider appears.
• iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6s, and iPhone 6: Keep holding the side button until the power off slider appears.
• iPhone SE (1st generation), iPhone 5s, and earlier: Keep holding the top button until the power off slider appears.
3. Drag the slider to turn off your iPhone and wait for it to turn off completely.

2. Put your iPhone in recovery mode

Recovery Mode is a built-in iOS troubleshooting mode where you can use an app — either iTunes or Finder to diagnose and fix the problems of your iPhone when it is connected to a computer.

1. Get ready by finding the button on your iPhone that you'll need to hold in the next step:
• iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X, and later, including iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generation): use the side button.
• iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus: use the Volume down button
• iPhone SE (1st generation), iPhone 6s, and earlier: use the Home button.
2. Press and hold the buttons while immediately connecting your iPhone to the computer.
3. Keep holding the button until you see the recovery mode screen on your iPhone.

If a passcode screen appears on your iPhone, repeat step 1 to turn off your iPhone and step 2 to put your iPhone in recovery mode again.

3. Restore your iPhone

1. Launch iTunes. iTunes will prompt, “There is a problem with the iPhone that requires it to be updated or restored” Select Restore.

All of your media and other data will be erased

3. A pop-up will appear “iPhone software update.” Select next and click “Agree” on the terms. iTunes will start downloading the software for your iPhone and restore your iPhone when the download is complete.
4. The download time depends on your internet speed and downloads source. Usually, it takes 20 minutes to 2 hours. You can check the download progress by clicking the download icon in the top-right corner

5. After the download is completed, iTunes will show “iTunes will erase and restore your iPhone to iOS 15.4.1 and will verify the restore with Apple.” Choose the Restore.
6. “Extracting software…” prompt on the screen indicates iOS 15.4.1 iTunes is preparing to restore the software on this iphone.

7. The restore progress bar will be displayed on your iPhone with the white apple logo. The restoration process takes around 20 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the amount of data on your iPhone.
8. Your iPhone will automatically restart when the restoration process is completed.
9. Now, reset your iPhone and create a new passcode.

In case you do not have a backup of your data in iTunes, Finder, or iCloud before being locked, select Don’t transfer apps & data directly. If you have made a regular backup before being locked, you can choose Restore from iCloud Backup or Restore from Mac or PC based on your reality.
