Erasing and restoring
Don’t you remember your passcode? Can’t you recall it? Are you looking for a technician’s help? Don’t panic. Just erase your device. And then use a backup to put your data and settings back on your device.
There are three recovery modes:
- if you've synced your device with iTunes
- if you have an iCloud account and have Find My iPhone turned on
- if you can't sync or connect with iTunes and don't have an iCloud account.
iTunes
It’s quite easy to restore your device if you've synced your device with iTunes. Follow the given steps:
- Connect the device to the system you have usually synced with.
- Try another computer normally you sync with if iTunes asks you to enter your passcode or asks you to allow access. Or use recovery mode.
- iTunes automatically syncs device and creates a backup. If it doesn't, sync the device with iTunes.
- After the sync is complete, restore your device.
- When iOS Setup Assistant asks to set up your device, choose "Restore from iTunes backup."
- Select your device in iTunes and choose the most recent backup.
Find My iPhone
