Hi, When you forgot iPhone/iPad passcode, you can restore your device from iTunes, then you can reset your passcode.

1. Connect your iPhone to computer via a USB cable;

2. Click View > Show Sidebar, your iPhone will show up in the left sidebar.

3. Click "Restore iPhone", and you can successfully reset iPhone passcode by clicking "Restore Backup".
