Real Methods to Unlock Apple iPhone 12 Pro Passcode without Losing Data

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.

 1. Using iTunes (If You Have iTunes Backup)

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:

• iPhone 8, iPhone X, or newer: Press and hold Volume Down + Volume Up + Side Button
• iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus: Press and hold Volume Down + Side Button
• iPhone 6s and older: Press and hold Home + Top (Side) Button

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!

2. Using iCloud (If You Have iCloud Backup)

In order for this to work, certain preconditions must have been set initially. They are as follows:

• Enable ‘Find My iPhone’
• Set iCloud backup
• A strong Wi-Fi
• A lightning cable
• A computer with iTunes

Then let’s go over the step-by-step process.

Use the lightning cable to connect your iPhone to the computer with iTunes.

1. Initiate Recovery Mode on your iPhone. (Refer to the method 1 on how to do this)
2. Click Restore and Update and follow the on-screen instructions to download the latest iOS version. Let the process complete.
3. If prompted for Apple ID and password, provide them. You should expect a few reboots during the process.
4. Once complete, set up your iPhone as if it is a new device, following the on-screen instructions along the way.
5. When you reach the backup stage on your iPhone, tap Restore from iCloud back.
6. When you reach the backup stage on your iPhone, tap Restore from iCloud back.
7. then select your latest backup, and click Restore. This may take a while; therefore, just wait for it to complete. Ensure the Wi-Fi signal is strong throughout this process.
8. Once the process is complete, your data is restored.

3. Contact Apple Support (If You Don’t Have Backup)

In case you had not previously backed up your data, we advise you to contact Apple Support for further advice. The above methods only work if you had already backed up your iPhone’s data. Please be aware this may cost you hundreds of dollars.

Other Possible Methods to Unlock Apple iPhone 12 Pro Passcode without Losing Data

There are other methods you can use to unlock iPhone passcode without losing data that are not necessarily directly provided by Apple. So, it’s not a guarantee that they will always work; however, they are still worth trying.

1. Using Siri to Bypass Locked Screen

Since Apple is regularly updating its iOS in order to fix security loopholes, this method only works on iOS 8.0 to 10.3. With that in mind, below is a step-by-step explanation on how to use Siri to unlock your iPhone’s passcode.

1. Press the Home button a few times until Siri activates.
2. Make a random request to Siri, (for example, set a reminder with Siri) so that it may respond. This response is key to initiating the unlocking process.
3. On the screen, you will see your reminder. Press and hold until Select All appears. Click on it.
4. Next, share through messages. When the message screen appears, type anything on the To field and the go back.
5. Next, click the “+” symbol and select Create New Contact.
6. Click Add Photo and go to your gallery. Scroll through your gallery and then tap the Home button.
7. Your iPhone will now be unlocked.

2. Try to Backup without Unlocking Screen

This method is worth trying when you have meet the following requrements:

• To backup your iPhone with a locked screen, you need to find a computer that has synced this iPhone before. With iOS 11.4 and earlier, you can try to backup it with your iTunes directly.
• If your iPhone is iOS 11.4.1 or later, you have to make sure the “USB Accessories” is on.

Then connect your iPhone with PC via a USB cable, use iTunes to backup your iPhone and restore it with the method 1.

3. Using Make Noerase IPSW (An Unauthentic Way)

Maybe you have heard this program called Make Noerase IPSW. It is said that it supports iOS 10 and below. We have tested for you that it can NOT unlock your iPhone successfully. Just give it up and don’t waste your time.
