How to erase/reset my iphone 6S when I got locked out and I don't know the password?
Added (1). I have deleted the device from my icloud and find my iphone accounts. I have pressed the home and lock buttons to reset and have also held it to where the phone goes to the recovery setting, but every time I plug it in it gets halfway through updating and then the phone screen goes back to being disabled for 15 minutes and my itunes asks me to unlock my phone usinggm password to gain access. I have redone reset to the recovery screen over 5 times and their is no progress
Take it to an Apple store. They did this for me on the 4Smy daughter gave me.
You don't need to take it to an Apple store.
Put the iPhone in DFU mode and restore in iTunes. It looks like you know about Recovery mode, but just keep in mind that DFU mode and Recovery Mode are NOT the same. ITunes will tell you that your iPhone is in Recovery mode, but if you follow the steps correctly, you'll be in DFU mode.

- Locked iPhone, don't know the password? I have an iPhone 4s through AT&T and the other day one of my friends decided it would be cool to set a password on my phone and not tell me what it was. It was just meant to be a joke but they don't remember what the password was so now my phone is locked and I can't access anything because I don't know the password. What do I do!
- Is there any way I can use my deceased father's iphone X even though I don't know his password or his e-mail password? My dad passed away recently. He had a fairly new iPhone X. I'd like to use it as my own phone but I don't know the passcode. I watched a video on how to restore the phone but I still can't use it because the phone is connected to an itunes account… And since i don't know his e-mail password, i can't reset it. I went to AT&T (where we were on a family plan) but they said they can't help me. Is his nearly new phone destined to be a paper weight?
- Is tbere any major différence between thé iPhone 6 and the 6s? Whooppeee is Xmas again and my daughter wants new 2nd hand) iPhone… 2 years ago almost bought her 5 before i réaliséd that it was 5s she wanted ( cos thé 5 sucks?) And I don't want to screw up this year…
- I'm trying to ease all contents and setting from my iPhone 7 and it's asking for a password but I don't have a password Ok so I recently got an iPhone 7 and when I opened it up it was a clean slate nothing on it. However when I tried to restore my old phone's data I restored the wrong phone. I tried to go into setting and ease all contents but it asked for a password that I didn't put into my phone and didn't create. I have no clue what to do.
