Add back an erased and removed iPhone.

Hello Apple iPhone Experts.


I have a little problem. My granddaughter thought her iPhone SE had been stolen. I marked it lost etc, erased it, and after some time I removed it from my account.


Long story short, she found it, forgot her passcode and now it’s unavailable (only emergency available…) and I don’t have a computer. I do have my iPhone. She knows her Apple ID and password.


Is there a way for me to add it back to my apple account since it’s been erased and removed?


Please Help

1.

To unlock your iPhone, follow the steps described in the Apple article:

(< iOS 15.2) ->: If you forgot your iPhone passcode

If you forgot your iPhone passcode - Apple Support

 

(iOS 15.2 and newer) - don't need a computer -> If you see an iPhone or iPad unavailable message or Security Lockout screen

If you see an iPhone or iPad unavailable message or Security Lockout screen - Apple Support


2.

Then you can add her iPhone back, see -> Check your Apple ID device list to see where you're signed in
