How to Erase and Reset a Locked iPhone or iPad
If you've forgotten the passcode for your iPhone or iPad, you can erase and reset or restore the device using your Apple ID and password.
This article explains how.
iPhone passcodes are usually six digits long, but they can still be forgotten, especially if the device hasn't been used for a while. If you find yourself in this predicament, you have the option to erase and reset it, after which you can restore the contents from a backup.
If you enter the wrong passcode several times on an iPhone running an iOS version earlier than iOS 15.2, your iPhone will disable itself for a time and you'll need to connect it to a computer and restore it from a backup.
If the iPhone is running iOS 15.2 or later, you won't need to connect it to a Mac or PC to reset it.
Instead, you'll get an option to erase it when it's in Security Lockout mode, and you'll be able to restore from an iCloud backup.
The series of steps below outline the actions you need to take in both cases.
