How do you reset an Iphone 5s without Itunes?
I don't have a computer. Its my daughters phone.It says its disabled and connect to ITunes to reset it? But i don't have a computer! Can i reset the phone without Itunes? Its a 5S! Please talk me thru it if i can!
I suggest buying a usb to lighting cable right now, then go to a apple store, plug in the phone into one the computers then restore it there.
they don't mind and lots of people do it
Really the only way is to use a computer of some sort. There's really no alternative. Try asking a friend or relative if you can borrow their computer for a little bit to perform the restore.
Also note, doing this will erase everything off of the phone. So if she didn't have anything backed up, it will be gone for ever.
THERE's NO WORKAROUND ON THIS! -- You MUST connect the iPhone to a computer online with iTunes to do the factory reset.
You may have to ask a friend or a relative for assistance on this. Public libraries MAY be able to assist you on this, but most of them typically don't have iTunes installed (as they may restrict access to the computer's storage drives).
Worst case, you visit the Genius Bar at an Apple store for assistance.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Resetting the phone to factory settings WILL DELETE EVERYTHING FROM THE PHONE! Anything not backed up to iCloud, a computer w/ iTunes, or any other means WILL BE LOST! Please be aware that the reset may trigger the activation lock, so you may need your daughter to log into her Apple account during the initial set-up… So make sure she knows her Apple ID & password as well to avoid additional headaches.
Hope this helps!
- Will the MAC address of my iPhone reset if I reset my iPhone to its factory settings over iTunes? I have jailbroken my device and used terminal to change my MAC address so that I could connect to school's Wi-Fi. But when I wanted to change it to its initial number, I typed in a wrong value and it just messed up my Wi-Fi, I can't connect to Wi-Fi anymore. Wonder if resetting to factory settings would help…
- Is there anyway to soft-reset iphone without itunes or password? Long story short, the home button doesn't work so can't put it into dfu mode for reset. Is there a (safe) third party software that will bypass the passcode and restore it without having to authorize the computer with the iphone?
- Is there anyway I can manually reset my iPhone 5s completely without using iTunes or passcode? I need to reset my iPhone 5s and I don't have access to a computer right now and my cousin thought it was funny to change my passcode I can't just call him to get it so that's not an option. Is there ANY other way? Like any buttons is have to hold? Lol
- Is there a way to hard factory reset my iphone without passcode, itunes, or computer? I found this iphone (5s I think) and I was wondering if there's a way to reset it w/o all that junk.
