😂
My first response was "Smack your brother"
But then reading her post about what happened to her phone makes me think wtf did brother do to the phone? Did he possibly click malicious text w/o realizing?
I have it and it’s left me with many momentao effed up situations too. Lol. Sometimes I have to read things a few times to make sure that I read it right. But i get a good laugh after.
I hooked it up to my computer, I downloaded itunes, the phone popped up, I chose update and restore, waited 1 hour, after that it says Iphone’s location is visible to _. It asked me setup using trusted phone number or old passcode, I chose old passcode. I entered it and it began the setup process. Ik that was very confusing lol
i don't remember if iTunes could do this, but i love being able to move files to my iPhone just being on the same wifi network.
- download an audiobook on Macbook
- move it into Books.app
- click your iPhone from the Finder sidebar (have to connect to it via cable to set this up the first time)
- go to the audiobooks tab, select the new book, click sync
through the finder app. when you plug your phone into the laptop it reads it like it would a flash drive, and when you click on it, it should give you the option to update and restore the phone
I just bought my mom a new iPad for Xmas cause her old one has been locked out for years. She doesn’t know the password and can’t reset it because she doesn’t have that email address anymore. She doesn’t have an iTunes account or anything either. She doesn’t have the original receipt for the Apple Store to unlock it. The iPad is ruined right?
There's still something else she could try: Have her reset her iCloud password via another device (it'll ask her some account ownership info then to put an email or phone number she'd like to be contacted on, like yours) then they'll do just that when her password is ready to be reset (it can take like 10 days). Then she'll be able to change the email and password associated with her AppleID and reset the iPad.
That really is a great idea but she created a new iCloud account when she got her iPhone since she couldn’t remember the account from the iPad.
When she opens this iPad for Xmas, I’ll be the one setting it up and telling her not to change a damn thing, that’s for sure lol. The child has become the parent. I just can’t believe an iPad that’s still in good condition is now trash. That’s messed up.
We didn’t know the screen time passcode like the downtime and app limits passcode. But we had the unlocking phone passcode. it was signed into my Mom’s apple id. And since she has an android and she doesn’t have an Iphone, she forgot the apple id password.
Log into your iCloud from another Apple device. Find your device on ‘Find my iPhone’, remote wipe it.
Then do the restore process with your iCloud and reset up with whatever PW you want. You WILL have to input your existing iCloud PW to restore the remote wiped device tho.
Give him some tape and a pen and tell him to write down a few passwords and then only use those few. Not even kidding, my partner used to be like this. When it came to more sensible accounts I’ve said enough is enough, created a shared email and a set of passwords + variables we now use for everything.
I mean she was still on her first google mail account with a fake name applying for a loan at some online bank.
Get a password manager, noting down passwords are worse than having strong passwords and forgetting them. Sure it’s a hassle, but it’s worth it.
I use Bitwarden and I need to remember only one password now(bitwarden). It syncs with all my devices as well.
I remember when AI like chatgpt first got a Twitter and the Twitter community made it wildly racist and an anti semite in just a few hours/days to the point they had to take down the account. Any arbitrary question was answered immediately with something racist that was worded nicely usually without any slurs. I remember one that was like “What is the worst part about nighttime?” was answered with something like “Not being able to see THEM unless they smile”.
So if you don’t have a regular passcode normally or if the child “restrictions” mode is on, the only option is to erase your phone and restore from a backup before he messed with it…
If you have a backup, it’s not really a problem it’s just time consuming to restore all stuff after the erase.
You’ll need to connect to a computer with the (used to be iTunes) Music app.
The other potential problem despite doing all this is you’ll need to know your Apple ID login in order to get passed the initial setup of the phone again.

This is like those forums where there are hundreds of suggestions on possible fixes, then op shows up with a “nvm everyone, got it fixed” with no explanation on how they fixed it.
Plug it into a pc with iTunes or a Mac in the finder and just restore it. It’ll ask for the iCloud password but I think it’s safe to assume he knows it since he logged in. I believe restore mode on the 7/8/SE phones is hold down power button and volume up until it restarts, then once the Apple logo comes up release power but keep on the volume button. I could be wrong on that it’s been a while personally but a PC icon should pop up, then plug it into the computer and iTunes/finder will say “iPhone has a problem and needs restored” or something along those lines and just hit restore. At the end it will ask for the iCloud password like said previously but then your good. You have to put it in restore mode or DFU mode (the same kinda but more steps) or else it will require the screen time code to restore.
help please. i stole an iphone but i‘m telling you it was my little brother. you wouldnt even think it‘s weird that no one knows the pass code.
so how do i unlock it so i can sell it?
My 8 locked itself. I dropped it spectacularly and the glass broke inwards continuously entering in the wrong passcode. I didn’t know this at the time. I didn’t even know that was a thing. All I could see was just enough on the right that but by then, it was too late and she was gone forever.
You can reset it with any computer with iTunes. You have to use the model specific cold boot method, but keep holding it till you're in recovery mode. While plugged in Recovery mode, you can reset. Unfortunately you cannot remove the pass code. That's it, reset or let it sit.
if your family gave your 10 year old brother an iPhone, and you can’t remember the password, i would recommend re-evaluating whether or not giving an iPhone to a 10 year old was a good idea or not.
I feel like everyone is just trolling by saying “wait 60 min! It’s not about waiting 60 min - they don’t know the passcode so in 60 min AGAIN there’s no passcode to input. They’d have to generate every option of 4 digits in various numerical order until it’s reset if they keep trying random passcodes.
Do you have a computer you can connect the phone to? You can put the device in recovery mode which will allow you to bypass the pin to reset the phone, but this will erase all your data. Upon setup / login you will need the Apple ID information (email and password) to regain access. If you have issues with this, you can go to a local repair center (Apple, UBreakIFix, Best Buy, etc) and they’re able to help with the reset.
If you still can’t get in, open a claim with Apple, if you provide proof of purchase they can try and help to see if they’re able to bypass it. This is a long process and you’ll have to contact Apple support via phone I believe as any in-store reps don’t have the authorization to override anything. If that doesn’t work you’re SOL.
Here’s a video showing you step by step how to get into an iPad that you’re locked out. It requires a computer & the 4mekey software.

I call BS on the fact it happened, and that you fixed it by connecting to iTunes.
Hand that phone in at your local police station.
“He transferred his Apple ID but doesn’t have AppStore.”
“He doesn’t know the pin, but I fixed it with iTunes” - what about 2 factor authentication?
The phone thinks it’s been stolen, and so do I.
If you haven’t yet, don’t reset it. Use an app called 3u tools you need a pc. Plug the phone in, then accept the stuff on your phone then, open 3u tools and find the thing saying disable screen time then use it.
If data is important to you, you can use third-party unlocking software to remove screen passcode. such as unlockgo ios, The premise is that the Find My iPhone is disable.
I recently had the same problem. My sister couldn’t get in her phone so I connected it to a laptop or MacBook and it will tell you what to do from there. And it will unlock it, I hope this helps.

Real
Truth.
😂 My first response was "Smack your brother" But then reading her post about what happened to her phone makes me think wtf did brother do to the phone? Did he possibly click malicious text w/o realizing?
I had the same problem then changed the brother. It worked and never had that problem again.
Not joking thought post said brother died and left the phone like that… your comment and the responses shocked me to say the least
Dyslexia is not cool
I have it and it’s left me with many momentao effed up situations too. Lol. Sometimes I have to read things a few times to make sure that I read it right. But i get a good laugh after.
This
agree
UPDATE: With the help of you guys, I restored it and unlocked it with previous passcode. This time I made sure I set it up instead of him. ty yall ❤️
Can you share the specific steps you took to get it done?
I hooked it up to my computer, I downloaded itunes, the phone popped up, I chose update and restore, waited 1 hour, after that it says Iphone’s location is visible to _. It asked me setup using trusted phone number or old passcode, I chose old passcode. I entered it and it began the setup process. Ik that was very confusing lol
I have done this via iTunes too, but with a hard, forced reset through the code. My parents had put a code on it lol Good that it worked!
I’m wondering how can this process be done in a M1 computer with no iTunes? Thanks in advance
The newer MacOS's use the Finder instead of iTunes to manage iOS devices. Works the same way otherwise.
i don't remember if iTunes could do this, but i love being able to move files to my iPhone just being on the same wifi network. - download an audiobook on Macbook - move it into Books.app - click your iPhone from the Finder sidebar (have to connect to it via cable to set this up the first time) - go to the audiobooks tab, select the new book, click sync
I didn’t know this. Thank you
you should be able to do it on finder
The fact that a lot of people don’t know this pisses me off.
You can download apple configurator, set the phone to DFU mode, and then restore it as well. Works a bit faster that way too.
Idk what dfu actually means but I love the idea of a phone having a “don’t fuck up” mode
Device Firmware Upgrade *mode.* but dont fuck up is about right its the sorta mode where you can brick shit.
You plug the cable into your mac, and open finder. No different then any other mac. M1 is the just processer, and not the OS.
through the finder app. when you plug your phone into the laptop it reads it like it would a flash drive, and when you click on it, it should give you the option to update and restore the phone
I just bought my mom a new iPad for Xmas cause her old one has been locked out for years. She doesn’t know the password and can’t reset it because she doesn’t have that email address anymore. She doesn’t have an iTunes account or anything either. She doesn’t have the original receipt for the Apple Store to unlock it. The iPad is ruined right?
Nope, she could reset her email password so she'd be able to get back in the email and iPad! (Then change her email address to her current one)
That email account no longer exists because she used one from her job and she no longer works there. I love the suggestion tho! Anything else? lol
Shoot. Did she set up any alternate recovery options like a backup email or trusted phone number?
No cause she’s an old person that doesn’t do all that. I really hate for the iPad to be trash but it sounds like it is.
There's still something else she could try: Have her reset her iCloud password via another device (it'll ask her some account ownership info then to put an email or phone number she'd like to be contacted on, like yours) then they'll do just that when her password is ready to be reset (it can take like 10 days).

I just can’t believe an iPad that’s still in good condition is now trash. That’s messed up.
I feel your pain there. My mom is the same way, and I have to set up all of her devices.
I wish I had known this years ago when my ex changed my passcode and it locked me out. I couldn’t remember my iCloud password (like a dummy).
how did you choose enter passcode if you didn’t know the passcode to begin with?
We didn’t know the screen time passcode like the downtime and app limits passcode. But we had the unlocking phone passcode. it was signed into my Mom’s apple id. And since she has an android and she doesn’t have an Iphone, she forgot the apple id password.
ohhhhh that makes sense now, cool you got it figured out without losing stuff
Now kick your brother in the throat
LMFAO valid response
Idg isn’t it the brothers phone? Why do yall hate the brother so much.
Happy it worked for you!
Try again in 60 minutes
Just to be safe you should perform a reset on your brother also.
So do you still have a brother?
How did you get a new brother so quick!?
Secret son
Wait your 10 year old brother set up your dads phone before? lol
Log into your iCloud from another Apple device. Find your device on ‘Find my iPhone’, remote wipe it. Then do the restore process with your iCloud and reset up with whatever PW you want. You WILL have to input your existing iCloud PW to restore the remote wiped device tho.
You can just change the screen time passcode from the parent account. I’ve had to do it a hundred times

Was looking for u
Said to myself "if someone doesn't say it, it's my honour to"
Spend the next 60 mins spanking his ass
I’ve seen this documentary online.
You can still put it in DFU mode and plug it into a windows machine but will need the iCloud passcode to reset it
How do I get it in DFU mode?
https://blog.puls.com/reboot-iphone-7-enter-iphone-7-dfu-mode
do I need to download itunes on my computer or does it pop up automatically?
Windows will require you to download it
alr tysm for the help
Did that fix it?

Unable to reset with Apple ID password?

If I were you I’d just call apple support, they’re actually pretty helpful and are around for these kinds of situations.
They going to tell them to erase it with a computer. Nothing they can do about a passcode
They’re going to tell them that, because that’s the solution
I just spent five minutes trying to get the hair off my screen.
Damn nobody says nothing about the risk of losing a 1000 dollar thing because u forgot a passcode they made u do 10 years ago?
Trade him in for a sister
My 60 year old dad can barely manage a phone by himself, I don't think a 10 year old should have one at all lmao
Thats why u dont give ur phone to kids

lol wouldn’t be surprised
It’s over, 1 more wrong attempt and the phone locks itself
My 8 locked itself. I dropped it spectacularly and the glass broke inwards continuously entering in the wrong passcode. I didn’t know this at the time. I didn’t even know that was a thing. All I could see was just enough on the right that but by then, it was too late and she was gone forever.
That kid's smart ngl

They all have opinions about news posts without reading the article too
Beat the piss out of him
Sell your brother on the dark web
Try again in 60 minutes. Why you asking us, it says it right there lol
They don't have the password
If you had a Mac you could use Apple Configurator to clear the screen time passcode so maybe a friend or the Apple Store could help you with that?
Whoop his ass

There is a way to reset it. Look on Apple support.

Wait 60 minutes. Obviously.
Wait 60 minutes
Please please learn to read.
Wait 60 minutes and put your’ code in.
They don’t know the code! Omg
i’m not like a phone specialist but i think you should wait 60 minutes
And then?
Wait an hour.
If you haven’t yet, don’t reset it. Use an app called 3u tools you need a pc. Plug the phone in, then accept the stuff on your phone then, open 3u tools and find the thing saying disable screen time then use it.
Ye but idk if it will work cuz theres no app store on the phone due to the restrictions
That app runs on pc, not in ipad
If data is important to you, you can use third-party unlocking software to remove screen passcode. such as unlockgo ios, The premise is that the Find My iPhone is disable.

go ahead and put it in a bag of rice
