Forgot passcode for iPhone 6

Hi I was gifted a iPhone 6 from my sister but she could not remember the password she said she did reset it(some time ago)to get rid of her information but when I turned it on all we got was a computer with a cord so I did a recovery on it, which led me to a update only and after it got done downloading update phone restarted and the screen for passcode came up which we don’t have as she forgot the darn thing. It will not let me go any farther. Need help getting past this point so I can put new passcode in it, Help Please.

Unfortunately, you are going to need more than the passcode.


Unless your sister can remember her Apple ID and Password, the phone is not going to have any use for you. If you do have that information from your sister, you can get past the passcode issue by setting up a new passcode.


Water under the bridge at a this point, but this is what should have been done with the phone before you received it.
