Q: I forgot my passcode in iPhone 5S and are using just fingerprint. Is any way to recover w/o resetting the device?

I forgot my passcode since I'm just using a fingerpint to unlock my iPhone. When turn off and turn on need to input passcode and I haven't... is there any way to recover passcode using fingerpint (is running ok)?

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.4

A:

Make a backup of the device to iCloud first. Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Backup Now.

Then, go to www.icloud.com, log in, and erase the device. This does not affect the iCloud backup you've created, just the device itself.

During the Setup Assistant, restore from the iCloud backup you created. This should allow you to create a new passcode.

Like how I learned the hard way to never take my phone into the bathroom.

If you set up TouchID, put your finger on the Home button.
