Disabled iPhone 7s

Please 🙏 Help!! Can anyone help me with getting back into my iPhone 7s? I haven't used my phone in over nine months but been in storage therefore I forgot my password for my lock screen. Question is... I know there's a lot of ways but does anyone know the easiest way to bypass the password without using a computer?? I'm usually good with these types of things. But I never really had an iPhone only Androids so somewhat of a difference. If anybody can help let me know thanks I would really really appreciate it it's driving me nuts!! 😵


iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 14

These are the only instructions you can perform in such a situation:


Given that to remove the existing passcode you must connect your device via USB to a computer (a Windows PC running the latest iTunes version, or a Mac, which can run iTunes or Finder, depending on the macOS installed on it), and keeping in mind that if you don't have a backup all data will be lost on that device (except those that you eventually synced to iCloud), pay attention to the specific gestures that you need to perform while connecting your device to the computer.

These are the instructions to re-gain access to your iPhone/iPad:

If it is an iPhone:--> If you forgot your iPhone passcode - Apple Support

If it is an iPad:--> If you forgot the passcode on your iPad, or your iPad is disabled - Apple Support

Or, watch this support video about the same matter (for both iPhone and iPad):
