Forgot passcode on my restored iPhone 12

Recently I ve bought an Iphone16 pro, and the old Iphone, which is an iphone 12, i ve restored to fabric settings to give it to my mom. I ve put an passcode on the old phone, but I don’t t remember it and it s empty, it doesn t have icloud on it. I mention that I have the original box of the phone and the invoice with IMEI on it from the store. How can I resolve this issue?

Simplest thing to do is restore the iPhone. Might be a good idea to write down the new passcode when you set up the phone again.......even if you are sure that you will never forget it.

Greetings!


If you forgot the password on your iPhone, you have two options.


  1. If you have recently changed the password on your device, you may be able to use the old password to change it. You can view more here in the video bellow from the Apple Support Youtube Channel.
  2. You may have to wipe the phone using a Mac Or Pc, if you do not have one and cannot borrow one, you can visit any Apple Store for this to be done at no cost to you.
