[Full Guide] How To Unlock iPhone Passcode Without Apple ID

If you forgot your iPhone passcode, you might rely on your Apple ID to unlock the device. But what if you don’t have an Apple ID linked to your iPhone or can’t access your Apple ID login details?

Don’t worry—this guide will walk you through how to unlock your iPhone passcode without your Apple ID, offering step-by-step solutions to regain access to your device.

How to Unlock iPhone Passcode without Apple ID

The first scenario is that you’ve forgotten your iPhone passcode and have no Apple ID set up on your device. Normally, using an Apple ID is the quickest and most straightforward way to unlock an iPhone without a passcode. However, in this case, since your device isn’t linked to an Apple ID, you’ll need to consider alternative methods to unlock your iPhone.

Here are two effective ways to unlock your iPhone without the passcode and without relying on an Apple ID.

Option 1: Unlocking with iSumsoft iPhone Passcode Refixer

iSumsoft iPhone Passcode Refixer is a professional and reliable iPhone unlocking tool that allows you to unlock your iPhone passcode without an Apple ID.

Step 1: Download iSumsoft iPhone Passcode Refixer from the official website and install it on your Windows PC or Mac. Once installed, launch the program to get started.

Step 2: Connect your iPhone to your computer using a compatible USB drive.

Step 3: In iSumsoft iPhone Passcode Refixer, choose the Unlock Lock Screen option, then click Next to confirm your selection.

Step 4: Make sure your iPhone is connected as prompted, and click Next. The software will automatically detect your iPhone.

Step 5: Click the Download button to begin downloading the firmware package required to unlock your iPhone. This firmware will be used to reset your device and remove the passcode.

Step 6: Once the firmware has been successfully downloaded, click Unlock to begin the unlocking process.

Step 7: Once unlocked successfully, your iPhone will automatically restart, and you’ll be able to set up and access it again.

Option 2: Unlocking with Apple’s tool

If you prefer to use official tools from Apple, you can unlock your iPhone passcode without an Apple ID by using iTunes or Finder. This software restores your iPhone to factory settings to erase the passcode, effectively unlocking the device.

Step 1: Connect your iPhone to your computer using the USB cable, then put your iPhone into recovery mode.

Step 2: Open iTunes or Apple Devices if you are using a Windows PC. If you are on a Mac, open the Finder.

Step 3: When you’re asked if you want to update or restore your device, choose the Restore option.

Step 4: Choose Restore and Update to confirm and begin the process, then wait for it to complete.

Part 2: How to Unlock iPhone If Forgot Passcode and Apple ID

Another more common and complex scenario is how to unlock your iPhone if you’ve forgotten both your passcode and Apple ID linked to the device. In this case, a factory reset alone won’t unlock the iPhone. While a reset removes the passcode, it doesn’t unlink the device from the Apple ID. After the reset, your iPhone will still be tied to the previous Apple ID. When you attempt to set up your device again, you’ll encounter the Activation Lock (iPhone Locked to Owner) screen, which requires the original Apple ID and password. Without the correct credentials, you won’t be able to complete the setup and access the iPhone.

While recovering your Apple ID is the ideal solution, it may not always be possible if you lack enough information. But don’t worry – we’ve got you covered. In this section, we’ll show you how to unlock your iPhone without both the passcode and Apple ID, using iSumsoft iLock Refixer.

Step 1: Factory reset on your iPhone using one of the two methods in Part 1, if you haven’t already done so.

Step 2: Leave your iPhone connected and launch iSumsoft iLock Refixer on your computer.

Step 3: In iSumsoft iLock Refixer, choose Bypass ID, and then click Start to proceed.

Step 4: Follow the on-screen instructions to boot your iPhone into DFU mode.

Step 5: Once your iPhone enters DFU mode, the software will jailbreak it automatically.

Step 6: Boot your iPhone into DFU mode again when prompted, so the software will continue jailbreaking it.

Step 7: Once the jailbreak is complete, the software will automatically bypass the iCloud Activation Lock on your iPhone.

Step 8: Once the bypass process is finished, your iPhone will restart, and you can proceed with setting it up as a new device. You can then create a new passcode and start using your iPhone without the need for your Apple ID.

Conclusion

Sometimes, you may need to unlock your iPhone without both a passcode and an Apple ID. One scenario is forgetting your passcode but not having an Apple ID set up on the device. In this case, you can unlock your iPhone on your computer by using Apple tools like iTunes, Apple Devices, or Finder, or a third-party solution like iSumsoft iPhone Passcode Refixer. Another scenario is having an Apple ID set up but not having the login details. In this case, you’ll first need to reset your iPhone to remove the passcode, then bypass the Apple ID/Activation Lock and unlock the device using a tool like iSumsoft iLock Refixer.
