In this article, we’ll guide you through the various ways in which you can unlock your iPhone passcode without a computer.
Unlocking Your iPhone Passcode with iCloud
If you set up the ‘Find My iPhone’ feature before you forgot your passcode, then unlocking your iPhone becomes easier. Here’s how to do it:
- Visit iCloud.com/find and log in with your Apple ID.
- Select ‘All Devices,’ then choose the iPhone that you want to unlock.
- Click on ‘Erase iPhone’ and confirm that you want to erase all data on your iPhone.

Unlocking Your iPhone Passcode with Siri
Did you know that Siri could unlock your iPhone without a computer? It’s true! Follow these steps to unlock your iPhone with Siri:
- Activate Siri by pressing and holding the home button or saying ‘Hey Siri.’
- Request Siri to “open Settings.”
- Next, select ‘Touch ID and Passcode.’
- Tap on ‘Turn Passcode Off,’ and you’re done.
Note that this method works only if you have enabled Siri while iPhone was locked.
Unlocking Your iPhone Passcode with Recovery Mode
Another solution is to put your iPhone into recovery mode and restore it using iTunes. Here’s how:
- Plug your iPhone into a computer that you synced it with before.
- Launch iTunes.
- Press and hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the iPhone screen goes black. Continue pressing the home button while releasing the power button.

Conclusion
Forgetting your iPhone passcode can be a frustrating experience, but fortunately, there are various ways of unlocking it without a computer.
