What are you referring to by a "bypass"?


  • If you mean that it is showing Locked to Owner because of an Activation Lock, there is no bypass even when using a computer.
  • If the Passcode has been forgotten, it may be possible to reset it without a computer if you know the Apple Account/Password.

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

Otherwise you would need to borrow a computer or go to an Apple Store or Apple Service Provider to use a computer there to reset the Passcode.
