It is only matter if time.


Your device will require your passcode when you do the following:


  • Turn on or restart your device
  • Press the Home button or swipe up to unlock your device (you can change this)
  • Update your software
  • Erase your device
  • View or change passcode settings
  • Install iOS or iPadOS Configuration profiles

You need a computer to follow these steps. If you don't have a computer, borrow one from a friend.
