Has it ever happened that you have an iPhone but you are unable to remember the Apple ID? Or are you using a second-hand iPhone and the old Apple ID is logged in? In such a situation, the biggest question comes up – how to reset iPhone without Apple ID? Don’t panic! Today we are going to learn an easy, straightforward and useful method for this.
Connection between Apple ID and iPhone reset
Whenever you start or reset a new iPhone, Apple’s Find My iPhone feature gets activated. This means that if you were logged in with an Apple ID, the same Apple ID and password is required to completely delete that phone.
Apple has put this security in place so that no one can steal the phone and use it. But the real problem comes when we ourselves do not remember our ID or password or we do not have those login details.
Ways to reset without Apple ID
Now let’s talk about the ways through which you can reset iPhone without Apple ID. Here we will discuss three most useful and safe methods.
Method 1: Reset in DFU mode using iTunes
This is a little technical but it works.
- First, connect the iPhone to a computer that has iTunes installed.
- Put the iPhone in DFU mode (for this, you need to press the volume button and power button at a certain time).
- iTunes will recognize your phone and say that you need to restore or update.
- Click on Restore.
- iTunes will then reset your iPhone.
With the Help of Third Party Software
If the above method doesn’t work, you can use some reliable third party tools, such as:
- TenorShare 4uKey
- iMyFone LockWiper
- Dr.Fone – Screen Unlock
With the help of these, you can bypass the lock screen, passcode and Apple ID of the iPhone.
- Install the software on the computer
- Connect the iPhone and choose the option of “Unlock Apple ID”
- By following the steps given below, you can reset the phone in a few minutes
