The numbers on the phone aren’t responding in order to unlock the phone. When you push a number, A Circle appears around the number but it doesn’t respond.

I have tried to restart the phone, but I still can’t enter the passcode. The numbers don’t enter when they are pressed.

Try double tapping the number.


It sounds like what you'd see if you had Voice Over enabled. Once you get into the phone, go to Settings>General>Accessibility>Accessibility Shortcut and turn it off.

I figured it out. In settings>General> the Voiceover was turned on. When I cut that off, it works properly. You helped me get down the right path. No idea how that got turned on. Thank you!

Very often it gets turned on if the shortcut is enabled. Sorry I didn't give you the information on how to turn off VoiceOver directly. I'm so glad you were able to find it on your own.


Best of luck.
