I forgot my password on my iPhone

Is there a possible way for me to retrieve my password on my iPhone I really forgot my password. I was trying to connect my phone to my mac to try and restore but I couldn't find my iPhone's name on the finder. Is there a way without using iTunes or finder?

(tried so many times to put my password in and I got locked for 9 hours).


Thank you

iPhone 13

I understand that you are referring to the passcode that is used to get to the Home Screen of your iPhone. You will have to reset the passcode to your iPhone by following the instructions in this guide published by AppleĀ 👉Ā Reset the Passcode of your iPhone (Without a Computer).Ā Ā Note:Ā All the data on your iPhone will be erased.


Hopefully, you have a backup created onĀ 👉Ā iCloud and/or on a computer.Ā If you do then, you canĀ 👉Restore your iPhone from the backupĀ file once your passcode has been reset and the iPhone has been returned to factory settings by the procedure in the link above.
