Forgot password


I forgot my password and I went to a repair shop hoping that the guy from the shop can unlock my phone. But he didn’t unlock it successfully though. What I’m concerned about is that did he manage to get through my data? Especially my photos? Because he was using a computer to unlock my phone. I think he was trying to reformat my phone, but when I got back to get my phone, it was still locked. I’m overthinking if did he manage to get through my data especially my photos while fixing my phone because he was using a computer maybe he can hack it or use a third party app?

If you cannot unlock it, I doubt that he did either. Next, if you just forgot your passcode, see this for instructions on how to get back into the iPhone. If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support

I didn’t bother to unlock it though because I didn’t know how to so I went to the repair shop hoping that the guy from the shop can unlock my phone but as I went back to get my phone he didn’t unlock it though. What I’m concerned about is that he was using a computer by trying to fix my phone. I was overthinking that just by plugging my phone to the computer he can access my data especially my photos. Or can he hack it and get through my photos?
