You can't, it's a security feature. What would be the point of being passcode protected if you could easily bypass it?


If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled -

Is it Not Disabled yet?


Hold it Right There!

Enter the passcode incorrectly too many times, and you'd likely be locked out for good. So, hold it right there, and refer to this link: If you Forgot the Passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is Disabled - Apple Support. It would be the one you've always entered. If you do not know it, then look for it in a location you may have stored it in.


No Success?

Contact Apple support:

If you cannot get the above link to work, then contact Apple Support.

Why the Wait:

Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due to lots of calls. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get through :)

Have your read the link you posted? Kurtosis12 obviously has and it will not let them get into there iPhone without losing their data. I do like the idea of looking somewhere they stored it. They can also consult a hypnotherapist and see if it can be recovered from their memory. Otherwise I hope they have been backing up regularly.
