Hi Darren, Thank you so much for sharing so many helpful tips. I’m now facing an annoying problem. I forgot my passcode which was set a long time ago. I can only access it via fingerprints. Yesterday, when I reboot my iPhone, it required me to enter the passcode which I don’t know. Due to too many incorrect attempts, it was disabled. iTunes failed to unlock it. So, is there any way I can use to unlock a disabled iPhone without iTunes? Any help would be much appreciated!
This is one of my readers sent to me. I think there is more than one issue like this. That’s why I made this post.
Of course, there are several ways allow you to reset a disabled iPhone without iTunes.
Before coming to the article, you should never miss the first part.

However, they are different. iPhone restored with DFU mode owns a purer iOS system than Recovery mode.
So, when you cannot unlock your disabled iPhone in Recovery mode, you can try to unlock it in DFU mode.

Step 1. Connect the device into your computer.
Step 2. Put your device into DFU mode:
For iPhone 8 or Later:
- Quickly press the Volume Up button then Volume Down button. Press and hold the side button, don’t release it while the screen turns black.
- While still holding the side button, press and hold the Volume Down button for 5 seconds
- Then release the side button and hold the Volume Down button for 10 seconds.
For iPhone 7/7Plus:
- Press and hold the Volume Down and side buttons for 10 seconds.
- Release the the side button and continue holding the Volume Down button for 5 seconds.
For iPad & iPhone 6 or Earlier:
- Press the Home and Power buttons for 10 seconds.

Step 3. Launch iTunes, you should see a message stating that “iTunes has detected an iPhone in Recovery mode…” although it is in DFU mode. Click OK.
Step 4. Then Click on Restore iPhone to download the firmware package to restore your iPhone to the latest iOS.
After the above steps, your disabled iPhone will be unlocked.
