I enter in my passcode all the time when im half drunk, asleep , etc. you name it i know this passcode like the back of my hand. Until today

My aunt had asked me to fix the scratchy audio on her ipad. Google said that she should reset her device, i thought hm my iphone is due for a reset too so i reset my iphone (this will come back to bite me in the ass later)

after her ipad restarts, it asks for a passcode and i vaguely remember her code so i try a variety of codes since shes on the phone and i dont want to wait for her to get off to test whether her ipad sound issue is fixed. wow success. her ipad sound now works and i remembered her passcode. score. right? wrong.

I then try to use my own iphone and to my astonishment i COMPLETELY forgot my own iphone passcode, for some reason i think it starts with a 88 but i could be confusing that with my debit card or something because i know my deb card starts with an 88.

Anyway since i restarted the phone i cant even access touch ID because it asks for me to enter in my passcode to enable it.

Is there any way for me to access my phone without restoring it from backup? the last time i backed up was months ago (Bad i know)

this is my phone. i have the serial number, i know the passcode to my apple id associated with the phone. my fingerprint matches the phone. the only thing is i completely forgot my 4 digit passcode its infuriating.

Please someone have a solution for me
if you always enter in your pass code then why do you have touch ID setup? :/
 
same problem with my sister's 5s passcode problem. took the phone to apple store and show the proof of purchase. problem solved. everybody happy #
 
itunes might let u in when u plug it into the iphones native computer-not quite sure how u could have forgot he pass code though

why did google tell u to reset an ipad?
 
Op the only way past it is a dfu restore then on boot it'll ask for your password for the iTunes account the phones associated with. You can then restore from your iCloud backup if you have one.
 
So... Ummm... I found MY phone at a bar last night. Crazy huh? No idea how I left it there. It gets crazier though: a bird distracted me and I forgot where I lived. While remembering where I lived I was wandering in traffic, got hit by a car (filled with kittens, so it was sad... Feel bad for me) and forgot my password for my found phone (did I mention earlier I had lost it? Ummm. I did)

Now I'm homeless, in a hospital, and can't unlock my phone. Feel sad for me.

How do I bypass the security?

I swears I'm honest and need your helps!

Oh, and I'm hot and a girl and will totally send pics for help!

Anyone help this damsel in distress???

Sincerely,

The 41 year old guy that took to the internet to unlock a phone he just stole

:D
