If you forgot the password from the iPhone, then it will not be much difficult to restore it. There are several effective ways Restoration, which will be discussed in the article. Before you take directly for solving the problem that has arisen, it should be noted that the iPhone has the ability to install two keys:
- input;
- password restrictions.
They perform different functions, and they also need to drop them in different ways. Therefore, consider what to do if you forgot the password on the lock screen and the key restrictions on the iPhone.
Restore input key
Password on the lock screen is effective method protection of the entire contents of the gadget from third-party persons. However, if the owner of the phone forgot him, then the entire functionality of the iPhone will be closed before him.
Change the input key when it is not possible - only reset. And for this you have to completely reset the installed operating system. Restore the factory settings on iPhone 5, 5S or other models in two ways:
- using the renovation environment Recovery Mode.;
- through DFU.
In both the first and in the second case, all data stored on the phone will be completely removed. So if you did not create backup Systems in iTunes or ICloud, it means to restore the erased files will not work. That is why it is recommended to periodically make a backup system.
The principle of resetting the input key through Recovery Mode and DFU is practically no different. Therefore, as an example, we will carefully analyze how to restore access to the iPhone if you forgot the password to the lock screen, via Recovery Mode.
After resetting the settings you will need to perform activation of iPhone.. You can configure the phone in iTunes as new, or restore all user information using the previously created backup. If the backup is available, choose the second or third option. 
Restoration password restrictions
To protect the applications installed on iPhone and their settings from random deletion Used password restrictions. By activating this protective function, you can no longer worry that, for example, your children playing on the phone, accidentally erase important information.
If the user has forgotten the key limit on the iPhone, the ability to be closed not only to delete the previously installed programs from the phone, but also installed new ones. And this is already serious enough.
Unlike the input password, change the key restrictions on any iPhone (4, 4s, 5, 5s, etc.) without complete system rollback. For this you need:
- Get the IBackupBot program and install it on PC. This can be done absolutely free.
- Connect an iPhone to a PC and run iTunes.
- Create backup phone. For this you need right-click Mouse click on our device and choose the appropriate procedure.
- After graduation reserve copy Data Run the iBackupBot utility and use it with it to open the folder with the backup just created.
- To change the password of restrictions that the user has successfully forgotten, you need to find the file specified in the picture in this folder, and open it.
- You will display a window with a set of commands. To change the key, you need to enter two lines in this document, which are highlighted in green on the image. The location of the insert is also shown in the picture. Instead of four zeros, you can enter any other numbers. This will be new codeTo which it was necessary to change the old one.
- After editing the file needs to be saved. iBackupBot can be closed.
- Again, enter iTunes and through the procedure "Restore from the copy" we flash the iPhone using a modified backup.
Almost each of us has such cases when we forgot passwords from our own devices. This not very pleasant situation can happen with any owner of the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. At the same time, everyone knows that the products from the apple giant are very protected from all who will try to hack the established access code to the device. And with several wrong input the key, the phone or tablet can go to such a state. If we have forgotten the password from the device, you begin to sort out everything possible optionsBut with this condition it can easily block the iPhone or iPad. After improperly entering the code for more than six times, you will stop giving attempts, and the following warning will be displayed on the device "IPhone is disabled repeated after 1 min".
And after the administration incorrect password Ninth time, you will be asked to connect to iTunes or repeat the attempt through more time - "IPhone disabled Connect to iTunes /" iPhone is disabled repeated after 60 minutes ". All the following actions with devices were carried out at the IOS version 9.2. In other versions, with an incorrect password input, a certain number of times, the device constantly increases the time for the next attempt. It makes the user wait for everything longer and longer, and not solve the existing problem.
If you encounter such a situation, do not despair. Each can happen like this, and Apple has provided a course of action for users. You can return the device quite quickly if you follow one of the options described below.
First option - resetting the device waiting time
If you have not made backup copies of the device on a computer, but you are important to keep personal data on iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.then you will use this method. And this will be the only option to unlock the device in this case. We have to make a password reset using a manual selection. As mentioned earlier, with a certain amount of incorrect passwords input, your attempts will be limited to time or request to iTunes. In order to constantly drop this time and try again, you need to reset the time counter in the program on the desktop PC.
In order to update the time meter until the next password input attempts, we will need iTunes. And so that this method worked correctly, it is necessary to including iPhone Or another device in the computer program recognized it. If the device has not been recognized, then nothing will dispense. Also, nothing will be released when connected to someone else's device. The fact is that with such a connection, it is necessary to confirm the permission to read information from the device, both on the computer and on the iPhone. And in order to confirm the action on the phone, you need to unlock it, therefore, nothing will come.
In order for everything to work correctly, connect your phone to that computer, with which the iPhone has previously worked. If there is no such possibility, you can immediately move to the method described as follows.
If everything works, then follow the following instructions:
To begin, run the program on your computer, you can see the phone icon in the upper left corner on the new software versions of the program. Connect the iPhone through USB wire, On the screen of which the inscription "iPhone is disconnected repeat after 60 minutes" or other time intervals. Sometimes these actions will be abused to reset the meter, but if the announcement of a re-attempt after a certain amount of time is still hanging, then go further.
Right-click on the phone icon or on the Synchronize special button. As soon as the synchronization process is running, immediately close it with a small cross. However, it is sometimes necessary to click on the arrow to complete the synchronization, which appears immediately after pressing the cross.
Now the password counter on the lock screen is reset. The iPhone or iPad, which previously requested a password to enter an hour or more, now dropped the counter, and you can continue attempts. This procedure You can spend as much as you like until you remember the desired combination.
Even if the inscription on the request of the connection to iTunes is displayed, do the same thing.
Second way - Password reset
If your device is already disabled or has not yet managed to do this, but still asks to enter the password, then you should act more hard way. However, it will lead to the fact that all information on your device will be erased. If there is a pre-made backup, it is good. Well, if not, you will have to sacrifice all data to unlock the device.
This method of unlocking an iPhon is useful if you have already tried the first method, but nothing happened. Now you have consciously decided on the full collection of the phone, including all the information on it. In case you have a backup of the device, it is still a little easier to decide on reset.
Attention! If your backup is encrypted, the password will also be saved along with it and after restoring the device from you anyway will need access code.
Password reset is performed as follows. To do this, you will need to translate the device to recovery mode - DFU. With this mode, you can completely reset iPhone or Aipad to factory settings.
All methods are specified for Apple devices with a version. firmware iOS. 7 and higher. Now you know how to reset the password on your device.
When multiple input of the wrong password, the iPhone is blocked. Approximately as it happens devices. Full blocking of the device and the function of deleting data when entering an incorrect code can be set in the "settings" of iOS. In some cases, an iPhone can be unlocked even without a password and touch ID.
If the phone is blocked, an appropriate inscription appears on the device display. It happens that you just forgot the password, and the smartphone has been blocked. In this case, you need to use the function of restoring it or produce full erase Memory device.
Note that restore recorded on iPhone Data It will be possible only if you previously recorded a backup in iTunes or ICloud. Otherwise you have to completely erase from the phone all available information.
There are three different options for doing this procedure. One of them involves the use of iTunes program, the second - ICLOUD. We will begin the description of the options for unlocking the iPhone from the most universal method.
Unlock password on the iPhone in recovery mode (DFU).
This method of erasing information from the iPhone allows you to unlock the smartphone in any situation - even if you have not previously synchronized it with iTunes and did not activate the "Find iPhone" function in ICloud. All settings and data on the smartphone will be erased during the recovery process, incl. and password lock.
- Connect the iPhone to the computer. Open iTunes program.
- Perform a forced restart of the device. To do this, turn on and continue to hold two buttons simultaneously. The first one is "sleep / awakening mode", the second depends on the smartphone model. To restart the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, you need to press the volume button to reduce. If you have iPhone 6s or earlier models, click the "Home" button. Hold both buttons until the recovery mode appears on the display.
- When you appear on the display, you select the update or recovery, select "Restore". After that, the recovery program is launched, which loads into it software. If the process failed in 15 minutes, the iPhone will be released from this mode and paragraphs 2 and 3 will have to be repeated.
- After the recovery is completed, you will need to configure the iPhone and you can use it.
Unlock and reset the iphone password in iTunes.
If your smartphone has previously synchronized with program iTunes.It can be restored in the way described below.
- We connect the iPhone to the computer on which synchronization was performed.
- Open iTunes program. If a password request appears, you can try to use another computer (or you have to erase memory in the recovery mode, as described above).
- We are waiting until the iTunes program will synchronize and create a backup of the device.
- After creating a backup, select "Restore the device" in the menu.
- The recovery screen will open the setup screen. Click "Restore from the copy".
- Choose your device in iTunes. Check the dates of creating each backup, also pay attention to their size. We select the most appropriate copy and launch its recovery.
Unlock iPhone using icloud.
This method can be used if the iPhone service has been enabled on the iPhone.
- Go from another device or computer to the iCloud.com/find page.
- When the query appears, using the Apple ID ID.
- At the top of the browser window, click on the "All Devices" drop-down list.

To unlock the smartphone on the last technique, it must be connected to the network. cellular communication either Wi-Fi. Otherwise, the exchange of data will be impossible.
Successfully remove blocking iPhone. You can any of the listed methods. When choosing, focus on which one will be most convenient for you. If you retained a backup, it is advisable to use the iTunes program if not - then it is easier to erase the data in the recovery mode.
If it is impossible to connect a blocked iPhone to a computer, you can use the last method.
Good time! Just a huge number of questions enters both e-mail and in the comments on articles on the topic forgotten (lost, someone changed, etc.) of an ICLOUD e-mailbox and a password to it. To be very accurate, it is about, but the essence of the matter does not change. In order to somehow systematize all this information, it was decided to write this article. So, if you do not remember (do not know) the password or email To which your (or "alien") iPhone or iPad is registered, and it really wants to activate it, then this instruction for you!
A little story. With Operating Output iOS systems 7, Apple has introduced additional protection for all device owners from theft, loss, etc. Now no one can gain access to the phone, as well as the data on it, if it does not know Apple ID and password from it.
Whatever actions you do not take:
- (full reset settings).
- Update (increase or decrease) firmware.
- Input B. dFU mode And the subsequent attempt to flash.
- Persisement on small parts and replacing certain parts of the phone.
Nothing will help! Do not believe people who promise to "hack" him for money (most often not small!). Remember - Delete Apple ID without a password to it is impossible. iPhone or iPad is tightly tied to the registration data and remove this binding can only:
- The direct owner of the device who owns this information.
- Apple employee.
By the way about bindings, they are two species:
So, we have the first version of the development of events and no question of the missing speech, and you simply forgot the password from ICloud (Apple ID) and the phone (tablet) has been blocked after updating the firmware or resetting the settings to factory.
What to do? How to remove an activation message? There are two ways:
- Go to the recovery page and try to do something there: you specify the mail to which Apple ID is registered, we introduce an additional e-mail address, respond to test questions. If you know at least something, then the chances of unlocking the iPhone are increasing!
- For those who do not remember anything at all. We write (and better call) to Apple's support service - here is a link to the page with contacts. Describe your situation as reliably and detail. Remember, people sit there and most often not stupid! Most likely, after a short conversation, you will be asked to prove the fact that the device belongs and always belonged to you. How? Provide photo boxes (naturally not just packaging, and the place where the serial number is indicated), serial number Gadget itself, plus purchase document (check). If everything is in order and Apple employees will be delivered, the locking of ICloud Lock will be removed.
However, it may happen that this will not happen. Why? The fact is that just a huge number of people began to fake purchases documents and thus deceive the company. I do not undertake to judge well or bad, but the fact is evident - the number of unlocked devices has decreased in such a method and each new application has already initially causes distrust.
And therefore, such a situation can be happened - the iPhone or iPad really belongs to you, all documents you have provided, and Apple employees refuse Activation Lock. How to be? Write to English-speaking support (the last subtitle will help you figure out how to do it) and tell them the whole story already, about how you forgot the password from ICloud and want to unlock it.
If they do not help, unfortunately, nothing remains like.
If the user has forgotten the four-digit password on the 4S or 5S iPhone, it can be unlocked only by flashing, connecting to a computer with installed iTunes app. This is the only way out in which all personal files on the phone are lost. And if there is no credentials in the Apple ID, then for a successful reset, the "Find iPhone" option must be disabled, since it will be impossible to activate the phone from iOS 7 without entering this information.
Reflash iPhone to reset password
Once again, we note that only flashing is the only way to reset the iPhone 5S if its owner has forgotten the password. We describe how to reset the code from the lock screen with flashing.
Preparatory stage:
- Run by computer iTunes.In the Help menu, check the availability of updates for the media player. For work it will be necessary for the most recent version of the application.
- Connect original apple cable USB deviss to a computer.
- Click on the phone to the phone icon by clicking on the iPhone menu. A window will open with which to work directly.
If you forgot the password inexperienced user, then the easiest option is to unlock the phone for it - click on the "Restore" button. The program independently downloads from Apple servers the latest current firmware for your gadget and reset the iOS on the device. Then, with the help of the same application on the computer, you can restore personal data from preserved archive copies.
However, this simple way has a number of flaws:
- last iOS version It has a size of about 1.5 GB, which makes the process of downloading and reinstalling quite long;
- with any failure in your home Internet or short-term access to the Apple Server process will have to start again;
- recovery When using a computer with Windows, it is usually accompanied by errors that lead to the inability to reinstall iOS in normal mode.
With Mac OS, the situation is somewhat different - problems when choosing this option to unlock the password, if they occur, it is extremely rare. Therefore, the above-described method is suitable, rather, apple computers.
True, it should also be borne in mind that iTunes automatically downloads last version Firmware that may differ from yours. This may be an important argument for owners. "Divided" devices that can only work with one version of the firmware.
Install your own firmware
The way to significantly reduce the likelihood of failures during the work is there. To do this, you just need to download the firmware suitable for your phone in advance and further use it during reinstallation. Your actions will change insignificantly:
Next, everything will happen in automatic mode. The device can be unlocked when it goes to Recovery Mode, is reloaded and reboots. It will remain to choose a language, region, connect to iTunes and select the "as a new" phone setting.
Drop the password in DFU mode
The described method does not always make it possible to avoid errors of the machine, throwing the password. The most reliable option to unlock iOS is achieved when the device is enforced in DFU modewhich differs significantly from previously used Recovery.
The latter acts, simply speaking, like "rollback" existing system To the original state with the recovery of factory settings and parameters. DFU, on the contrary, is a loader mode, in which the device's memory is formatted, system components are reinstalled and a full reinstalling iOS occurs.
Password reset by flashing in DFU mode
If the user forgot to make a backup of personal data, they will be lost, so as to unlock the device in DFU mode, iOS needs to be completely reinstalled. The sequence is as follows:
- Turn off the iPhone, Apple USB branded cable Connect it to a PC with a fresh iTunes installed and enter the device to DFU mode. This is done like this:
○ Hold and hold the inclusion key for 3 seconds;
○ Press and 10 seconds hold the "Home" button without releasing the power key;
○ Release the last time after this period of time, and hold the "home" until the gadget enters the DFU mode.
- In iTunes, select your device and click "Restore" with SHIFT clamped (for PC with Windows).
DFU mode You may not be able to activate the first time, especially if you had no such experience. There is nothing in this terrible, you just need to understand how to recognize that the device is located in the DFU, and not in the recovery mode.
The latter is very easy to distinguish when the characteristic image of the media player and USB cable appears on the device screen. When the device is introduced into the DFU mode, on the contrary, the display will be completely black (or in some cases white), will not respond to a single press button. However, iTunes will be able to detect it, and in the corresponding window it will be written that the device is in recovery mode. Do not pay attention to this - act according to the template already described.
How to restore account account Apple ID
Unlock the phone is not as hard if the user has not forgotten the password from Apple ID. However, if you are forgotten and this data, the device restore may be difficult.
Moreover, if the iPhone 5S with iOS 7 includes the "Find Phone" function, the device is automatically tied to account apple records ID, therefore, even after flashing using DFU, unlock the gadget will not be possible without entering the account.
Successful methods of hacking firmware is not yet known, so to restore account We will have to act exclusively in official ways. They are not so much:
- Go to the https://iforgot.apple.com page and enter the specified when registering mailboxThe identifier in the Apple ID, click on the continuation button.
- When you select confirmation using an E-Mail on an Apple ID mailbox, a message containing a link allows you to change the password.
- If access to K. electronic drawer You do not have, try to answer secret questionsspecified during registration.
If none of the ways have worked, you will have to communicate with the support service and solve the issue with access to the account personally.
