bought an iphone used a few months ago, changed my passcode when i got new glasses (??? long story) and now cant remember the new one. i DO know the apple id and password. is there any way to reset the phone without a computer? i don't own a mac or pc
as of ios 1 5.2 and later, you can reset your iphone from the phone itself if you know the apple id password.
just enter the wrong passcode enough times until it says "iphone unavailable" or "security lockout," then on that screen there should be an "erase iphone" option in the bottom corner. tap it, sign in with your apple id password, and it'll wipe the phone
after wipe you set it up fresh like a new phone
OP: WAIT does that actually work? i've been ignoring that screen thinking it was a scam
yes it's legit. just make sure it's the real apple screen, not a random website. it's baked into ios itself
before you wipe — if you haven't been backing up to icloud, you're going to lose whatever isn't synced. photos should sync automatically if icloud photos is on. contacts too. but random app data might be gone. just a heads up
OP: i think everything's in icloud. i barely have anything on this phone lol
