In brief

This guide shows how to bypass a disabled or passcode-locked screen on older iPhones, iPads, or iPods by forcing them into recovery mode and restoring the device. It’s aimed at users who’ve forgotten their passcode and need to regain access, though it will erase all data on the device.

Key steps

  1. Disconnect all cables from the device.
  2. Turn off the device by holding Sleep/Wake and sliding to power off.
  3. Hold the Home button while plugging the device into a computer.
  4. Keep holding Home until the Connect to iTunes screen appears.
  5. Open iTunes if it doesn’t launch automatically.
  6. Click OK when iTunes detects the device in recovery mode.
  7. Restore and update the device to remove the lock.

This will erase the device and its passcode or disabled locks that are stopping you from using the device.

1. Disconnect all cables from your device.

2. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button, then "slide to power off" to turn off your device.

3. Press and hold the Home button and plug the device into your computer. If your device doesn't turn on automatically, turn it on. Don't release the Home button.

4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.

5. If iTunes doesn't open automatically, open it. iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode.

6. Click OK. Then restore & update the device.

If your device doesn't go into recovery mode, try steps 1–4 again.
