Way 1. Use an Unlocking Tool to Remove the Screen Lock
If you choose to remove the screen lock directly, the issue will be resolved soon after backing up your iPhone. Hence, I recommend you to download the powerful iOS passcode unlock software — Cocosenor iPhone Passcode Tuner. Here’s how it works.
Step 1: Download and install the program on the computer you trust before. Then choose Unlock Lock Screen from the main interface.
Step 2: Click the Start button.
Step 3: Connect your iPhone to the PC, and then tap on Next.
Step 4: Hit Download to get the firmware package. It will take some time for the download, so please wait patiently.
Step 5: Click Unlock to remove the screen passcode.
Way 2. Enter the Passcode by Asking Siri to Turn on VoiceOver
Now speaking Siri may help you a lot and bring no data loss. In this way, you can move the VoiceOver cursor to the keypad and select the right passcode. When a number is tapped, it will tell you what you are choosing.
Step 1: Press and hold the Home/Side button to activate Siri. Then ask Siri to turn on VioceOver.
Step 2: Once it’s on, press the Home button and go to the lock screen.
Step 3: Swipe left or right until Slide to Unlock is chosen.
Step 4: Next, swipe left and right to tap on the right passcode buttons. You need to double click them to enter the passcode.
Step 5: Lastly, swipe left and right to select enter/done and double hit it to submit.
Way 3. Connect the Wired USB Keyboard to the iOS Device
You can enter the passcode by connecting an external keyboard to the cracked iPhone without touching the screen. But this method requires your iPhone versions earlier than iOS 11.4.1.
Connect the devices > Press the space bar twice > Enter the passcode on the keyboard. If you have enabled Bluetooth on your iPhone before, a Bluetooth keyboard can also play a role.
Way 4. Restore the Damaged Screen iPhone by Running iTunes
Besides downloading a third-party tool, you can use iTunes to delete the passcode. Before restoring iPhone via iTunes, it can also be used to make a backup of all the data by launching iTunes > Summary > Back Up iPhone.
Step 1: Connect your iPhone to iTunes on your Windows or Mac computer.
Step 2: Tap on the small iPhone icon after iTunes detects the iOS device.
Step 3: Click the Summary button. Then select Restore iPhone.
Way 5. Open Find My iPhone on iCloud to Erase iPhone
The Find My iPhone feature can also erase the device passcode. The only thing is that you have logged in to the Apple ID account on the iPhone. If all of the methods are of no use, you have no alternative but to repair the iPhone screen at the Apple Store.
Step 1: Visit www.icloud.com and log in to your iCloud account.
Step 2: Scroll down and click Find My iPhone.
Step 3: Tap on All Devices, and select the iPhone. Then choose Erase iPhone.
