Forgot device passcode

Hey there,

If your iPhone or iPad has iOS 15.2 or later installed, see: How to reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when you forgot your passcode - Apple Support

If that option is not available, you will need to use a computer. See: If you forgot your iPhone passcode - Apple Support

There is no way to recover a passcode.

Your only alternative is to reset (erase) the device and restore it from a backup.

You WILL need your AppleID credentials.

If using an eSIM, you’ll also need re-provisioning info from your carrier.

Or, if your iOS was 15.1.1 or prior, you’ll additionally need a computer AND a cable along w/ these instructions:
