When using iPhone and iPad, various unpleasant situations may arise, such as locking the device after entering the wrong password. The process of restoring access is actually not as difficult as it might seem at first glance.
The easiest way to unlock your iPhone (iPad) is using the operating system restore through iTunes. This method has one significant drawback. After recovery, all data stored on the device will be lost. However, all information can be returned using the previously created backups. If there are no such copies, you can use the services of companies involved in data recovery activities.
So, to restore iOS to iPhone (iPad), you need to connect to a computer with iTunes installed. Then you need to put your gadget into DFU mode. To do this, you must simultaneously hold down the power button and the Home button. After 10 seconds, the power button can be released. After a few more seconds, you can also release the Home button. ITunes will then detect the device. Then you need to hold down the Shift key on your computer (if your computer is a Mac from Apple, then the Alt key). Next, you need to click on the "Restore" button that appears and select the firmware version.
The recovery operation will take 10-15 minutes, after which the device will load the selected version of the operating system. As you can see, unlocking your iPhone (iPad) is not difficult, so don't be upset if you entered the wrong code. Through these simple manipulations, you can restore access to your phone (tablet).
