How to put iPhone in recovery mode

Well, between your post’s body and your post’s title, one wonders what you’re asking. Some possibilities:

• Recovery mode?
  • For iPhone?
  • For iPad? (After all, this is the iPad forum)
• Factory reset?
  • For iPhone?
  • For iPad?
• Forgotten passcode (given the article linked above that sent you here)?

@sberman I can be a bit naive at times but I think you may think his Apple equipment is stolen. If this is true how or who should be notified to investigate. I only ask because my iPhone was stole many years ago and the police nor Apple were all that helpful. I’m hoping since then maybe there’s actions to take so people aren’t so braising about taking another persons belongings.

I never suggested that and I do not think that.
