![]() Thinking iTune stored multiple backups, I connected my phone and made a backup not realizing I just erased the one from the prior week. Needless to say I entered codes until I got the Connect to Itunes prompt. With a sinking feeling I remember seeing passcode settings. The next morning I went to use my phone and my passcode wouldnt work. I couldnt sleep two nights ago and vaguely remember playing with my phone settings. I have a similar but I think unique situation. ![]() iOS 15.2 finally introduces a modern solution.Īs long as the locked iPhone or iPad in question has an active network connection, you can now erase the device from the lock screen (assuming it is running iOS 15.2 or later).From browsing the Internet I see a lot of people trying to bypass the iPhone passcode lock. In 2021, this represents a pretty antiquated ordeal. This meant if you forgot your iPhone passcode, you would have to put your iPhone into DFU recovery mode and then connect to a PC or Mac to restore via the classic iTunes process. However, up to now, doing the same when the device is in a locked state has required the use of a computer. It just takes a couple of taps in the Settings app to Erase All Contents and Settings. Of course, when an iPhone is unlocked, resetting it to factory stock software is incredibly simple. This new feature is thanks to a new capability when the iOS device is in Security Lockout mode, after too many failed passcode attempts. Another little tidbit in iOS 15.2 is that Apple has finally added the ability to erase and reset a locked iPhone or iPad, without first needing to connect it to a PC or Mac.
