There may be several circumstances why you need to enter a locked iPhone. The method for this will also be affected by the type of lock you have. Here we offer you these options:
If you have forgotten the code or password
If it has already happened to you, or you fear not always remembering the password in the future you can disable PIN access. This is a good option if you have naughty kids at home who might mis-enter the code. Since, as we will see later, unlock an iPhone can erase your data.
Do the following:
- On the home screen, tap “Settings”.
- Near the bottom of the list choose “Telephone”.
- Choose “SIM PIN”.
- Deactivate the option by sliding the button.
- Enter the current code.
With this already you will not need to enter the code each time. This represents a risk to your data if you lose or steal your mobile
If you’re locked by iCloud
The main reason why you should go through the unlocking process is that your phone will become unusable. And if you do a format of it, it will not have much of its functions. And in case you lose your mobile or it is stolen, you will not be able to block it remotely or delete the personal content of it.
In case you need deactivate this service because you decided to sell it (which is very correct of you). Follow this step by step:
- If you also use a Apple Watch linked to the mobile, unlink it.
- Make a backup phone security.
- go to “Settings”.
- In iCloud, at the bottom of the list, select “Sign off”.
- Choose the option “Delete from iPhone”.
- Place the password to confirm.
- Back in Settings, choose “General”.
- “Reset”.
- “Erase content and settings”.
- In case you have activated “Find my iPhone” You must also enter your Apple ID with its respective password.
- Contact the telephone service operator to transfer the service to a new owner.
To use with another telephone operator
When visiting another country, where your operator does not have coverage, your device will automatically connect to a network. This is a great advantage because you do not have to make any configuration. In the event that you know a provider with better benefits in that area, you can deactivate this automatic connection. For it:
- go to “Setting”.
- in the option “operator” disable the field “Automatic”.
- When doing this, a window will appear with the available companies. Choose the one you prefer.
In the other case, that you want to change your operator, because the competition offers better rates, higher speed or better coverage, you cannot do it from the system or from Apple sites.
To make it you must contact your operator and request the unlocking or release of your iPhone. It is likely that you had to meet certain requirements to do so. After following the steps indicated by the telephone company, you can now change the SIM.
If iPhone is stolen or lost and locked
If you have found a mobile, whatever its brand, try to find the owner. We all want an iPhone, but consider the effort that goes into getting one. Posting on social networks that you are looking for its owner will surely will cause a shower of messages and also offers. However, there is a method to find its owner when the mobile is locked. Forks through the IMEI.
Make sure that if the device is turned on, you will be able to view the telephone operator at the top. With this we already do half of the work. The other part is finding the equipment identity number that will be requested when we contact the company. Depending on the model it varies slightly. Although it is usually located printed on the casing or under it, with these two pieces of information you will be able to locate an owner who will be happy to recover the mobile from him.
