The article tells about how to unlock iPhone passcode without computer. Nowadays a phone is a carrier of vital information for all of us. Many people do different types of activities with a phone, from communication to work, and have screen time numbering a few hours a day.
That is why not being able to break through the lock screen may appear a disaster and it is absolutely necessary to have access to the device constantly and to be able to restore access to it if you forget the iPhone passcode after all.
What to do if you forget your passcode and don’t even have a computer? Is it possible to unlock iPhone without a computer?
There are several ways how to unlock iPhone without a computer.
For most of them, you will need another device (sometimes only IOS devices suit, sometimes OS type doesn’t matter), but there are cases when you will deal only with your locked iPhone.
Be careful because each of them includes the removal of your iPhone data and returning the device to factory settings. In order to get the data back, your iPhone has to be backed up preliminarily.
Otherwise, you lose all the information from the iPhone.
One more important moment is that the methods described in this article are applied for any model of iPhone, whether it’s iPhone 6, SE,iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, X, 11, 12, or any other model.
The article will be useful not only for those who have forgotten the iPhone passcode but also for those whose Face ID or Touch ID doesn’t work for some reason and for those who forgot iPad passcode, screen time passcode, or some screen password.
Before we start, you should know that picking the passcode is necessary to be precise, because entering incorrect passcode several times lead to a disabled iPhone. Disabled iPhone means that you can’t do attempts to enter a passcode.

Unlock iPhone Passcode without Computer Using Find My App
Be careful! All the data will be removed from the device as a result of using the following method.
Find My iPhone app is an app that all iPhones have. Its main purpose is to provide iPhone owners with information about the location of their devices in case they lose them and also to block access to the devices so no one can use the lost device.
However, there is one more Find my iPhone feature allowing you to unlock iPhone devices without computer remotely.

Unlock iPhone Passcode Using a Third-party tool
Be careful! All the data will be removed from the device as a result of using the following method.
There are several tools used to remove the screen passcode from the iPhone. One of them is called iPhone Unlocker.
However, this tool requires the presence of a computer.

- Open the app.
- Connect the iPhone to a computer with the help of a USB cable.
- Press on the “Wipe Passcode” button in the appeared menu.
- Check your iPhone information and press on “Start”, if everything is correct.

- Once the installation is completed, you will see a window with a warning telling you the result of the lock screen removal (as you know, this is the removal of all the iPhone data). Apart from the deletion of all the data, your IOS will be updated to the latest IOS version. You need to enter “0000” in the field and then press the “Unlock” button to continue.
- Then the process of unlocking will begin. Wait until its completion.
Just like in the case of the other methods, you will have to get back all the information on your phone using backup, of course, if you had done it preliminarily.
Unlock iPhone Passcode Using iTunes
Be careful! All the data will be removed from the device as a result of using the following method.
- Turn on your computer.
- Log into your iTunes account.
- Turn off the iPhone.
- Turn on Recovery mode on your iPhone. Depending on the model of the iPhone, you can do it in different ways: If you have iPhone X or any newer iPhone, iPhone SE (2nd generation), iPhone 8, and iPhone 8 Plus you have to use the side button. For changing the mode of iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus, press the bottom volume button. An old iPhone such as iPhone SE (1st generation), iPhone 6s, and earlier models requires a Home button to be pressed. For each method, you have to press the necessary button and hold it.
- Not releasing the button, connect the phone to the computer with the help of a USB cable.
- Release the button as soon as you see a screen displaying turning on Recovery mode. If you’re asked to enter screen passcode, turn off the iPhone and repeat the whole procedure from the beginning.
- Find the iPhone section in iTunes.
- Wen you see a message with an offer to restore or to renew the device, pick the Restore option. If 15 pass and the process of restoration is not finished, then the iPhone will go out of Recovery mode. You need to turn off the phone and do restoration again.
- After the process of restoration is completed, close iTunes and disconnect the phone from the computer.
To get your deleted data back, use iTunes backup.
So, as you can see, there are several methods how to unlock the iPhone passcode without computer.
You should choose the one that is more suitable for you:
If you have another IOS device, pick the method involving Find My app.
If you have a device with another OS (not an IOS device), then use your iCloud account.
If you have only iPhone and need only to unlock iPhone one or a few times, use Siri.
If you have a computer, you can unlock screen passcode through iTunes or iPhone Unlocker.
Just remember that each method is based on deletion of all the data on a phone, so if you have some extremely important information in the device, maybe you should think a little bit more to remember the screen passcode.
However, you can use iTunes backup to restore the data. In case you didn’t make a backup in iTunes previously, you can also restore some files you have in iCloud.
That is all!
We hope this article was hopeful and you were able to return access to your iPhone.
If you still didn’t do it, go ahead! As you can see, it is really easy.
