There are a couple of ways to unlock your iPhone passcode without losing the saved data. In this section, we are going to explore three tested methods.
In this method, you must have first backed up your iPhone’s data to iTunes. This will enable you to restore data, once the iPhone passcode – along with the device – is wiped, using the latest backup. After completing the process, you will be asked to pick a new passcode. All you need to carry out this method are a passcode-locked iPhone, lightning cable, and a computer where iTunes are backed up. Here’s a detailed breakdown.
1. Use the lightning cable to connect your iPhone to your computer and then launch iTunes. If asked for a passcode, reboot your phone while still connected to the computer.
2. On the iTunes window, select your iPhone and then click on Restore Backup.
3. Next window brings up a series of backups. Pick the most recent and click Restore. Should you be asked for a password, provide the one for your encrypted backup.
4. You may be asked to switch off ‘Find My iPhone’. At this point, you will need to initiate Recovery Mode. This is how you do it:
5. Keep holding the buttons until you see the Recovery Mode screen as the picture shows below.
6. A restore message will pop up on iTunes, click Restore and Update and let the process complete. Or you also try restore iPhone without updating in Recovery Mode
7. The iPhone will restart. Make sure it remains connected up until the sync completes, and then you may disconnect. Voila!
