Unlock iPhone Passcode When Forgot Screen Lock

iPhone passcode is a straightforward way to protect your iPhone data. It is a simple 4-digit passcode that provides a faster way to unlock the iPhone. But there are many users out there, like me, who have a habit of changing their passwords off and on. It results in many wrong attempts, ultimately disabling the iPhone for 1 minute. What if you still are unable to enter the correct passcode? Your iPhone will be disabled, and you must unlock the iPhone passcode when you forget the screen lock.

There are many ways to regain access to your iPhone after it is disabled, but we will discuss only three methods, which are easier and more reliable than others. These methods work on all types of Phones, such as iPhone 4, 4S, 5, 5S, 5C, 6, and 6 Plus. They are also reliable for different versions of iOS, such as iOS 5, 6, 7, and 8.
