The iPhone is a great device, especially when it comes to security. But we humans sometimes rely on it so much, that we sometimes forget the basics – like remembering the passcode to get into the device.

While it is fortunate that Apple has devised a way to bypass the code, it is also unfortunate that you’ll have to reset the device to do it, including wiping all data from the iPhone, iPod, or iPad. But if you really need to get into the said device(s), do the below:

Their are two ways to do this:

1. Use iTunes.
2. Use Recovery Mode.

Option 1 will only work if you’ve synced the device with iTunes before. If you didn’t, then option #2 would be your best bet.

1. Using iTunes:

– Connect the device to the computer that you synced the iPhone/iPad/iPod with.
– If it asks for a passcode, disconnect it and try another computer.
– Wait for the device to be enabled, then it’ll try to sync it to iTunes and then make a backup.
– After the sync has finished, select RESTORE.

2. Using Recovery Mode:

– Connect your iOS device to a computer and open iTunes.
– While the device is connected, you’ll need to force restart it.
– A window will pop-up stating that their is something wrong, and you’ll need to restore the device.
– Choose RESTORE.

Wait for the process to finish, then you can re-setup the device(s).

That’s it.
