Greetings Nando420,


It sounds like you want to know if you can use one iPhone to unlock another one. We know how important this is for you, and you’re in the right place for answers.


You can use another iPhone as a trusted device which helps with signing on to or into with your Apple ID. It cannot be used to reset passwords.

Trusted devices
A trusted device is an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 9 or later, or Mac with OS X El Capitan or later that you've already signed in to using two-factor authentication. It’s a device we know is yours and that can be used to verify your identity by displaying a verification code from Apple when you sign in on a different device or browser. An Apple Watch with watchOS 6 or later can receive verification codes when you sign in with your Apple ID, but cannot act as a trusted device for password resets. 

This info is located in this support article:

If you forgot the device passcode, then you will need to follow the steps in the support article that you contacted us from:

Take Care!
