How Do I Reset my iPhone to Factory Settings Without a Passcode?

If you enter an incorrect password multiple times on your iPhone it will be disabled. While this is a good security measure, it can be a big problem if you forget your password. You will have to restore your device to be able to gain access. So, how do you factory-reset a locked iPhone 11? 

1. Using iTunes

This is the easiest solution: resetting an iPhone with iTunes. You don't need to download any additional apps, and there's no password required. Here's how to factory-reset iPhone 11 (11 Pro Max) with iTunes.

First, you need to download the latest version of iTunes for your computer. These steps are similar on macOS and Windows. If you have an older version of iTunes installed on your PC, you should update or uninstall it before proceeding further with this process.

When you have installed the latest version of iTunes on your computer follow these steps:

• Make sure you have a compatible USB cable and don't plug your iPhone to the computer just yet.
• Press and hold the side button and either one of the volume buttons until the Power Off slider appears. 
• Slide it to switch off your device, and while still holding the side button, connect your phone 11 to the computer. Keep pressing the side button until you see the DFU recovery mode screen appear.
• Find your iPhone 11 in iTunes on the computer it is connected to.
• Select Restore when you are given the options to Update or Restore.
• Your computer will download the software for your iPhone and begin the restoration process. 
• Wait for the process to complete and disconnect your iPhone from the computer.
• Now you can set up your iPhone anew. 

2. Using a Third-Party App

If you have forgotten your unlock screen passcode, you can reset your iPhone using a third-party app. There are a few good apps that will allow you to recover your forgotten password, unlock the screen and reset your iPhone 11 to its factory settings. We recommend you use SD iPhone unlocker, a reliable third-party app to reset your iPhone. However, you will need to connect your iPhone 11/ Pro Max via a USB to your computer.

Download and install SD iPhone unlocker on your PC or Mac then proceed with the steps below: 

• Launch the software on your computer and then Plug your iPhone 11 via a USB cable.
• Next, select the > Unlock Screen Passcode option.
• Enter Recovery Mode on your iPhone: While your device is off, hold and release the volume up button in quick succession. Repeat the same with the volume down button. Then, press the side button without release, and wait for the recovery mode screen to appear.
• After you've connected your iPhone, follow the prompts to begin downloading firmware. When you are prompted, confirm the required iPhone information for firmware installation.
• The firmware will take a moment to download which the program will use to initiate the process.
• Make sure your phone is still connected and tap on Unlock to proceed with the reset process. You will be prompted to make a payment before the phone is unlocked.
• To verify the reset and passcode removal on your iPhone type "000000."

The process will take a while to complete, but on completion, it removes the passcode and the iPhone’s data content. Proceed to reset your phone from a previous backup or set it up like a new iPhone.

Resetting an iPhone 11 Using Other Alternatives

The two methods above require that you have access to a computer with some software installed on it. However, you can unlock your locked iPhone without a computer using the following methods:

3. Using Find My iPhone

Use your Apple iCloud account, but ensure that you have an internet connection. It also requires that you have previously enabled Find My iPhone on your device and have enabled another device as a trusted device.

Here's how to reset an iPhone 11 (11 Pro /Max) with the help of the Find My iPhone feature:

• Go to iCloud.com and log in using your Apple credentials.
• On the primary screen, tap on the "Find iPhone" preference.

• Tap > All Devices at the top-center of the page. 
• Then select your iPhone from the list of devices. Press the "ï" icon next to your phone

• Tap > “ Erase iPhone ” at the bottom page of the device details.

• At this point your trusted devices will be sent a verification code. Enter it into iCloud.
• If you are prompted to confirm if "you need to erase your iPhone 11", tap on Continue and enter your Apple ID credentials again.

After your iPhone 11 has been erased, you will be able to set it up from an iCloud or iTunes backup or configure it as a new phone.

4. Using  Find My App (iOS 13 or later).

You can utilize the Find My app to remotely erase a variety of Apple devices including iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, or even a Mac. However, this method only works on iOS devices that run iOS 13 or the latest iOS version. Also, to remotely erase a device, you must enable Find My [device] and you need to have authenticated and signed another device in the Family Sharing group.

Here's how to factory-reset an iPhone with the aid of the Find My app:

• Launch Find My App from another iPad or iPhone with iOS 13 or above.
• Tap Devices at the bottom of the screen, then select the desired device by tapping on it.
• Click > Erase This Device and then tap Continue.
• You don't need to enter your contact number or message as your device isn't lost.
• Tap Erase.
• Enter your Apple ID credentials and tap Erase again.

Your device will be erased after a short while. However, if your device is offline, you will see Erase Pending. Your device will be erased remotely the moment it connects to a WiFi or cellular network.
