How to reset iPhone with passcode or iTunes?
My younger sister recently received my mom's old iPhone 4 as a gift. However, we forgot the passcode. So we want to factory reset it. I have tried hard resetting it, and connecting it to iTunes but neither have worked. It is not connected to any data plan or Wi-Fi network, either.
Data plan nor Wi-Fi have nothing to do with the factory reset. You must first put the iPhone in DFU mode (plenty of instructions online), and iTunes should detect it as being in recovery mode (it is fine) and will offer to restore it. This of course will wipe everything off of the phone.
Once it is restored, you can setup the phone like normal. Just be advised that the iPhone 4 is very obsolete at this point. Most apps will no longer work on it since they usually require a higher iOS version that what is possible to install on that iPhone model.
- 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 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 anyway I can bypass my passcode on my iPhone 4 or it's a 5 I'm not sure but I can't remember the passcode but I need it I know you can restore but I don't want to do that because I don't think I have the computer I backed it up to back then. And i don't know what update this is. Like I haven't see the emergency button there at all in any videos
- 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.
