Method 2. Bypass iPhone Lock Screen using iTunes

Bypassing the iPhone lock screen through iTunes is effective and very useful. Usually, the passcode is required to restore the iPhone through iTunes, but you can put your device into Recovery Mode, and it will not require any passcode and allow you to restore or bypass the locked iPhone.

Putting your device into Recovery mode will erase the whole data from your iPhone. If you are comfortable with this, iTunes would be a great source to bypass the iPhone lock screen.

Let’s see how to bypass the iPhone lock screen using iTunes:

First of all, open the iTunes application on your computer.

You must enter your iPhone into the Recovery Mode before connecting it to a computer and laptop. To do that, press the “Volume Up” and then the “Volume Down” key. After that, hold the side button until the Apple logo appears on the screen. It indicates that your Apple iPhone has been entered into Recovery Mode.

The next step is to connect your locked iOS device to your computer or laptop.

As soon as your iPhone is connected to the computer, a pop-up will arise on the window screen showing an issue with your iPhone that needs to be repaired.

Here you need to choose the “Restore” option. Keep in mind that your whole data will be wiped out by choosing this option.
