Resetting a Locked iPhone X Without a Password or Computer: A Comprehensive Guide

The iPhone X offers multiple security features, including locking the device with a password for enhanced protection. However, forgetting or being locked out of your iPhone X can pose a problem. Luckily, there is a solution: resetting the iPhone X without a password or computer. In this guide, we will explain the process step by step, starting with the first method – resetting through iCloud’s Find My service. Let’s explore how to reset your locked iPhone X without a password or computer!

Method 1: Reset the iPhone X using iCloud's Find My service

The Find My app is a preinstalled tracking app on iPhones and iPads, allowing users to remotely log their devices or search for them in case they are lost or stolen. Additionally, it has a useful “Erase it with ease” function that enables you to reset your iPhone and delete the passcode. This method will wipe all the contents of your device, but it requires a computer or any device with a fast and reliable internet connection.

If you want to use this method, make sure that the Find My iPhone feature is enabled on your iPhone. Then, follow the steps below:

Step 1: Open any web or phone browser and go to iCloud.com.

Step 2: Sign in using your Apple ID and password.

Step 3: A verification code will be sent to your trusted device. Note it down and enter it on iCloud to continue.

Step 4: The “All Device” option will appear on the iCloud Find My iPhone page. Click on it, and then select your iPhone from the device list.

Step 5: When your iPhone is displayed on the page, click on “Erase iPhone” below it.

Step 6: Follow the onscreen prompts, and iCloud will remotely reset or erase your iPhone.

Once the reset process is complete, your iPhone will restart, and you will arrive at the screen for setting up your device. You can now set up your iPhone as a new device or recover your data from a backup. If you don’t receive the verification code during the sign-in process, you can tap on “Didn’t get a verification code” and follow the instructions to receive a new code.

If you don’t want to lose your data or don’t have the Find My iPhone feature enabled on your iPhone, you can use an alternative method to reset your device.

Method 3: Utilize Recovery Mode to Restore the iPhone X to Factory Settings Without a Passcode

If for some reason you are unable to use iCloud’s Find My service or Renee iPassFix to reset your locked iPhone X, you can still reset it using recovery mode. This method is useful if Find My is turned off or if you do not have access to a computer. Please note that using this method will erase all data on your device, so it is important to only use it as a last resort.

To reset your iPhone X using recovery mode, please follow these steps:

Step 1: Make sure your iPhone is fully charged and that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer.

Step 2: Press and hold the Side button and one of the Volume buttons for a few seconds until the power off slider appears. Swipe the slider to the right to power off your device.

Step 3: Connect your iPhone to your computer using a USB cable while holding down the Side button. Keep holding the Side button until the recovery mode screen appears on your iPhone.

Step 4: On your computer, a message will pop up asking if you want to restore or update your device. Select “Restore” to continue.

Step 5: Wait patiently while your iPhone is erased and the latest iOS software is downloaded and installed. This may take a few minutes, depending on your device’s type and storage capacity.

Once the process is complete, you can set up your iPhone as new or restore from a backup if you have one.

For future reference, it is important to regularly backup your device and sign up for a secure password storage service to avoid forgetting your passcode. If you do forget your passcode, it is important not to repeatedly enter incorrect codes as this can permanently disable your device. Instead, try to remember your passcode or use one of the other methods we have discussed in this article.

Method 4: Using Siri to Bypass the Lock Screen on Specific iOS Versions

If you have an iPhone running an older iOS version, particularly between iOS 8.0 to 10.1, you might be able to leverage a vulnerability involving Siri to bypass the lock screen. This method is not officially sanctioned by Apple and is, therefore, a form of a workaround that makes use of a glitch in these specific versions of iOS. While this method is not foolproof and does not work on newer iOS versions, it may be a viable option for those needing to access their device without losing data.

Here are the steps to attempt the Siri unlock bypass:

Step 1: Engage Siri by pressing and holding the Home button, and then ask “What time is it?” to prompt the display of the clock.

Step 2: Upon seeing the clock on the screen, interact with it by tapping on it and then selecting the “+” icon to add a new clock.

Step 3: Type any characters into the “Choose a City” search box, and then double-tap to select the text entered.

Step 4: Select Select All and wait for more options to appear, including “cut” and “share” functions.

Step 5: Choose the Share option. A variety of sharing options will become available, from which you need to select Message to open a new message window.

Step 6: Inside the message window, type something in the “To:” field, press Return, and then tap on “Create New Contact”.

Step 7: Choose to Add Photo to the contact and press on Choose Photo to be taken to the Photos app.

Step 8: After you are taken to the Photos app, if you press the Home button, you might get to the home screen without having to enter a passcode.

Employing this workaround is predicated on a security flaw in older iOS systems, which has since been rectified in versions post-iOS 10.2. Thus, this method is rendered obsolete for modern devices. In addition, it’s important to note that attempts to bypass security in this way are generally advised against and may lead to unintended consequences, including potential loss of data or functionality.

In contemporary scenarios or with newer iOS updates, if you’re looking to reset your device without a computer, using a professional tool like Renee iPassFix may be more appropriate, provided the device is not stolen or acquired by unlawful means.
