passcode forgot

I forgot my iPhone passcode and could not retrieve it after 10 wrong attempts.

Now the iPhone is showing a display (iPhone unavailable).

How can I try another passcode or reset it because no backup is available?

iPhone XS

You have run out of passcode tries. You will have to restore the phone to factory settings, then restore your backup.


If your device has iOS 15.2 or later installed, you can reset it without a computer; check out this link→How to reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when you forgot your passcode - Apple Support. Otherwise you will need a computer:

See this Apple support link→If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support

Or watch this companion video ⬇️



After restoring the phone using one of the methods above you can restore your most recent backup.
