Try double tapping on the screen with 3 fingers. If that doesn't work, try a forced restart.


Try a forced restart.


• Press and quickly release the volume up button

• Press and quickly release the volume down button

• Press and hold the side button.

• When the Apple logo appears, release the button.

It will not accept my Passcode.

So your iPhone is not locked in screen zoom as discussed above, but rather is locked with a passcode you don’t know?


If so, restarting won’t bypass the passcode.


Your issue is different, with a different procedure.


In general, here is the passcode reset:

If you’re running iOS 15.2 or later, then you can use a different approach:

Neither restarting the iPhone nor resetting the device passcode will clear Activation Lock, if that’s also active here and not already associated with your Apple ID.
