When you forgot the passcode, one way to unlock iPhone without restore is to use the Siri hack that has been all over the place. But keep in mind that this method supports very limited iPhones and iOS versions. And the success rate is very low as Apple has strengthened its security protection.

With that being said, here's how to carry out the Siri hack.

On the locked screen, start by asking Siri about the time. You can say, Hey Siri what time is it? Next, once your iPhone displays an analog clock, tap on it. After tapping on the clock, click the + button on the screen that follows.

Next, type any word into the search bar, just as is in the image below. Tap and hold the word, choose Select All upon which you'll see Share amidst other options.

Tap Share, choose the Message app, type any word into the "To" field, and tap the Return key on the keyboard. When the text you inserted into the recipient field becomes highlighted in green, tap the + icon next to the highlighted text.

Tap Create New Contact > Add Photo > Choose Photo. When you are in the Photos Library, tap the Home Button. This will get you into your device without the passcode.

Forgot iPhone Passcode? Unlock It Without Restore on Emergency Call Screen

If your iPhone is running on the iOS 6.1 version, though very unlikely this time and age, it's possible to unlock your iOS device without restore on the emergency call screen. Follow the steps below to do the emergency call screen trick.

First, slide to unlock your locked iPhone and type any passcode. After receiving an incorrect passcode error, cancel the iPhone lock screen.

For the second time, slide to unlock, this time without attempting a passcode. Instead, tap on the Emergency Call button. Next, press and hold the Power button until the "Turn iPhone Off" slider appears, and then tap Cancel again.

The next step is to press 112 (an emergency number) on the dialer, click the Call button, and cancel immediately after the call is sent.

After ending the call, press the Power or Home button to display the unlock screen once more. Now hold down the Power button for 3 seconds and tap the Emergency Call button just before the "Turn iPhone Off" slider appears.

If you were able to follow through without a mistake, your iPhone should be unlocked now.

With the emergency trick, your access to your iPhone will be limited to the Phone dialer, Contacts, and Photos app. If you need a much better and very effective unlocking method, read on.
