iPhone 7 wont unlock with correct passcode!!

I have an iPhone 6 and mine just did the exact same thing a few hours ago. For absolutely no reason, it prompted for the passcode instead of the thumb print and then wouldn't accept the 6-digit passcode that I've used FOREVER. Now it's locked. And no.... there's no one else who has access to it.

What an absolute piece of crap for it to do that randomly.

I'm having the exact same problem. I set a new passcode to my iPhone 7, put the 2nd verification of the same passcode, but when I locked it, and tried to enter again, the passcode was incorrect. I can receive phone calls and text messages, but with no ID recognition. Now my iPhone is disabled, but still can receive phone calls. I have a lot of data on my phone and don´t want to lose it if I restore it.

I had this happen to me to weeks in a row. It has happened the last two Mondays. Works fine all week, wake up Monday morning and the phone won't except my pass code. Last Monday, it finally excepted the code after the 14th try. So far I made it to being locked out an hour. This is what make you hate these phones, when there a known issue and they do nothing to correct it.

I'm experiencing a similar problem. I use a company-given iPhone 6, and after upgrading to 10.3 it wants me enter Old Passcode to recover some info from iCloud. I jave been using an 8-digit passcode as that is enforced by some policies running on it. Before reaching that section where that 6-digit passcode is requested I was asked for and correctly entered my Apple ID and password, and my 8-digit passcode

Thoughts?

Did you ever get this resolved? It's happening to me right now. I got locked out of my iPhone 6 and took it to the Apple store today. The Apple Tech erase my phone and told me to go home and restore my phone with iTunes or iCloud. Got home tried both ways and I can't restore it without the old password (see message below). Help. I don't want to lose my data.

"Enter Old Passcode, some of your data stored in iCloud is protected by the passcode previously used to unlock this iPhone. Your Passcode is encrypted and cannot be read by Apple"

Same thing just happened to my iPhone 7 and I am still searching for a solution. I tried to restore from backup from iTune but when prompted for passcode, it does not recognize my correct passcode so back to square one.

I've go the same problem with a new iPhone 7 Plus. Passcode is correct and is the same one I've been using since I setup the phone 7 months ago.

Phone is locked and cannot access it and a new message appears.

APPLE ID VERIFICATION

This is surreal!!!! It's funny that this post was almost 1 year ago but I'm having the same prbm right now and is loosing my freaking mind! I can't express my level of frustration right now, like how do you use a password one min and the next it doesn't work. I'm locked out of my phone as we speak.

So any update Apple? This ******** just happened to me while traveling. What kind of **** is this? And lets not get started with your pathetic customer service..... "have you changed your passcode recently?" ... Is that a joke?

This just happened to me this morning when i woke up. It looks like a common issue whats the answer here. It looks the phone rebooted and now will not accept the passcode. I have an ipad but cant uSE it as conveniently. I am travelING and really need the phone. *** APPLE how do you fix this and why would it not accept the passcode I have had since the passcode feature was created. This seems like an APPLE issue based on this thread

This just happened to my wife. Someone at work said use 123456 and it worked!

She had just about smashed her phone when this miracle worked. Her password is nothing like that "fix"

So try this for your mystery "my password doesn't work anymore" problem

When I went into settings to turn off the password requirement I had to use a different icloud password to get into that feature....???? then I had to use the "123456" ***???

So try this for your mystery "my password doesn't work anymore" problem

My iPhone 7plus will not recognize my passcode after charging it when it died. I have ALWAYS had a 4 digit passcode and now it’s asking for a 6 digit one. I am the ONLY one that has access to my phone and my 4 digit passcode was working just 10 min prior. As my phone is sitting here locked I’m getting text messages and now it’s not showing the contact name on the text, just their number. Looks like from reading on here SEVERAL are having the same issue. Some from over a year ago. How can this STILL be happing and how do I fix this???

This has happened to me when with an iPad I just purchased brand new from T-Mobile. The same passcode I’ve had forever that I use on my iPhone as well just won’t work!! I’ve never changed my passcode lock and I’m certain that no one else could have ever got on my iPad to change it either. I’m at a loss what to do about it? I never plug into a pc either. I solely rely on my iCloud account to back up and without plugging it in to iTunes it’s looking like that’s my only option? I’ve literally used the iPad twice since buying it in December. I’m so frustrated about that if it was not to late to return it I would have! I’m out of ideas.
