How to unlock your iPhone without a passcode or Face ID
If you’re trying to figure out how to unlock your iPhone without a passcode or Face ID, you’ve come to the right place. In this article, we’ll show you how to do it using a few different methods.
One of the easiest ways to unlock your iPhone without a passcode or Face ID is by using an iTunes backup. If you’ve synced your iPhone with iTunes in the past, you can restore your device from its most recent backup. This will erase all of the data on your iPhone, but it will also remove any passcode or Face ID that you’ve set up.
If you don’t have an iTunes backup, don’t worry – there are still a few other ways that you can unlock your device. Another option is to use iCloud. If you have an iCloud account, you can use the ‘Find My iPhone’ feature to remotely erase your device and remove any passcode or Face ID that’s been set up.
There are also a few third-party tools that can be used to unlock an iPhone without a passcode or Face ID. These tools typically require you to connect your device to a computer and run some software. We don’t recommend using these tools unless you’re experienced with this type of thing, as they can be tricky to use and may not always work properly.
If all else fails, your last resort is to factory reset your device. This will erase all of the data on your iPhone, so make sure that you have backups of any important files before proceeding. To factory reset your device, go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
How to bypass the passcode on your iPhone
If you can’t remember your passcode, you’ll need to erase your iPhone, which deletes all of your data and settings, including the passcode. If you’ve never synced with iTunes or set up Find My iPhone in iCloud, you’ll need to use recovery mode to restore your device. This will erase your data.
How to use Face ID to unlock your iPhone
If you have an iPhone with Face ID, you can use it to unlock your device, sign in to apps, and make purchases. Here’s how to set up Face ID.
To use Face ID to unlock your iPhone, wake your iPhone by picking it up or tapping the screen. Then glance at your iPhone—you don’t need to pick it up or press a button—and swipe up from the bottom of the screen. If you’re already signed in with your passcode and you want to sign in to a different account, double-click the Side button, then look at your iPhone and swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
How to set up a passcode on your iPhone
If you have an iPhone with Touch ID, you can use it to unlock your device, make purchases, and access secure data. But if you don’t want to use Touch ID, you can set up a passcode. A passcode is a secret code that you use to access your iPhone. It can be a simple 4-digit code, or a longer, more complex code.
You should set up a passcode to help protect your data. If someone gets access to your device, they’ll need your passcode to unlock it and access your information.
To set up a passcode on your iPhone:
Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode (iPhone 5s and earlier) or Settings > Face ID & Passcode (iPhone SE (2nd generation), iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR, iPad Pro (11-inch), iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (3rd generation)).
Tap Turn Passcode On.
Enter a six-digit passcode, or tap Passcode Options to choose another type of passcode:
- A custom numeric code: Tap Custom Alphanumeric Code.
- A custom alphanumeric code: Tap Custom Numeric Code.
Re-enter your passcode to confirm it and activate it.
How to change your passcode on your iPhone
If you have an iPhone with a passcode, you can change your passcode to another four-digit number at any time. Just follow these steps:
- Tap Settings > Passcode. If prompted, enter your current passcode.
- Tap Change Passcode, then enter a new four-digit passcode.
- Re-enter the new passcode to confirm it.
If you have an iPhone with Touch ID, you can still change your passcode to another four-digit number if you prefer. Just follow steps 1–3 above and toggle Passcode Off/On in the Touch ID & Passcode settings screen.
How to reset your passcode on your iPhone
If you forgot your iPhone passcode, it is still possible to unlock your device. You can do this by restoring your iPhone to its factory settings. This will erase all the data on your iPhone, so make sure you’ve backed up your device before proceeding.
To restore your iPhone to its factory settings, you will need to follow these steps:
- Open iTunes on your computer and connect your iPhone to it using a Lightning cable.
- Once iTunes has recognized your device, click on the “Summary” tab.
- Click on the “Restore iPhone” button.
- Confirm that you want to restore your device by clicking on the “Restore” button again.
- Your iPhone will now be reset to its factory settings and you will be able to set up a new passcode for it.

How to troubleshoot Face ID issues on your iPhone
If you’re having trouble setting up Face ID, or if Face ID isn’t working the way you expect it to, follow these steps.
First, make sure that there’s nothing blocking your iPhone’s camera or TrueDepth sensor. Then, go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode and make sure that Face ID is on and enrolled.
If you’re still having trouble, try these steps:
- Use a different face. If you’re using a face scanner to unlock your iPhone, make sure that you’re using a supported device. If you’re using an iPhone X or later, you can use Face ID.
- Use a different authentication method. If you’re using an iPhone X or later and can’t enroll in Face ID, try using another authentication method like a passcode or Touch ID.
- Update your device. Make sure that your iPhone has the latest version of iOS installed.
- Restart your device. If you still can’t set up Face ID, restart your iPhone.
