FYI
Why is it so important to know how to restore iphone ? Forgetting a password is a situation many of us have been in. With privacy being a major concern of the customers, major mobile phone brands have put an extra emphasis on it. Apple PIN lock for iPhones is very secure. In December 2015, the San Bernardino attack took place in USA that killed 14 people and injured many others. The FBI tried to break into the deceased terrorist’s iPhone, but because Apple devices are so well encrypted, the FBI were unable to unlock it initially, but finally managed to unlock it via a third party after days of delay.
Therefore, due to this emphasis towards privacy, unlocking an iPhone with a forgotten PIN is a regrettable situation. There is no way to unlock your iPhone without you losing all the contents on the phone, unless you’ve made a backup. After 6 wrong attempts (in a row) to unlock, your iPhone will get locked and will be disabled.
You’ll need to clear your iPhone and delete all it’s contents and settings in order to reset it.
