In brief

You’ll restore a disabled or passcode-locked iPhone (6S, 6 Plus, 5s, 5c, 5, 4s, 4) or iPod/iPad to factory settings using recovery mode. This method erases all data but bypasses the lockscreen. It’s best for those without iCloud access or a working Home button.

Key steps

  1. Turn off the device by holding Sleep/Wake, then sliding to power off.
  2. Hold the Home button while plugging the device into your computer.
  3. Keep holding Home until the Connect to iTunes screen appears.
  4. Open iTunes and confirm the recovery mode alert.
  5. Click OK, then choose to restore and update the device.

Questions & answers

Will this erase all my data?
