Whether you’ve entered the wrong passcode too many times or simply can’t remember it, resetting your iPhone will allow you to regain access to your device. However, it’s important to note that resetting your iPhone will erase all of the data on it, so it’s crucial to back up your data before proceeding.

- iPhone 7 and earlier: Press and hold the Side button and the Volume Down button at the same time until you see the recovery mode screen.
- Once your iPhone is in recovery mode, iTunes or Finder will detect it.
- Click on the Restore option and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the reset process.

Resetting your iPhone without a password can be a lifesaver when you find yourself locked out of your device. However, it’s crucial to remember to back up your data before proceeding with the reset, as it will erase all of the data on your iPhone. By following the steps outlined above, you can regain access to your iPhone and continue using it with a new passcode.
