if i restore my iphone will the passcode reset

How to disable the Screen Time passcode on iOS 14 (or 13) Rather, Apple will simply slow down the rate at which you can try new codes. The phone will say '1 failed attempt' and so on, but it won't lock you out of the device. Anyone that has been told this is difficult or that 'you need to restore your iPhone as a new device through iTunes' should read on! What happens if I keep getting the Screen Time parental restrictions code wrong?ĭon't worry if you continue and try multiple attempts to guess it.

What to do if you find yourself locked out of the 'restrictions' settings?įortunately, there are ways to retrieve your restrictions settings without the need to restore your iPhone as a new device or jail-breaking it. So it seems someone has already broken thru the passcode and now needs to sign in to iCloud in order to use the phone.Forgotten your iPhone's Screen Time or restrictions passcode?įorgetting a passcode can happen to anyone, especially if these are settings that you don't change regularly. The last text had the Apple logo in it and asked me to sign in with my Apple ID. All the other location info to date has been sent to my email, not the contact phone number, and it has been from Lost My iPhone, not Apple Support. I left my husband's phone number on the Lost My iPhone screen and he suddenly started getting suspicious looking texts from 'Apple Support' saying my phone was found at such and such address. I think this is no longer a hypothetical situation. I.e., as long as the phone is in lost mode and the activation lock is in place, it's still in my account and the phone is useless to anyone who finds it.

Though you didn't specifically say so, I think the phone would still be tied to my iCloud account even if the passcode is removed and the data erased.

I think this answers my question, although I'm not sure which question your 'No' is in reply to.
