Have you forgotten iPhone 5 screen passcode? 3 methods that you can use to unlock it without passcode.

1. Connect the iPhone 5 with iTunes to restore if the iPhone has been synced with iTunes. If not, put it into recovery mode first and then use iTunes to restore.

2. Use an iPhone unlocking tool called Joyoshare iPasscode Unlocker. It can unlock any iOS device without passcode.

3. Suppose the Find My iPhone feature is enabled on the iPhone 5 and it is connected to a Wi-Fi network, you can log into your iCloud account and locate Find My iPhone to erase the iPhone.

If you forgot the passcode and want to unlock your iPhone 5, a secure method is to use a professional tool such as TunesKit iOS System Recovery to help you. It offers an advanced mode to help you reset your device to factory settings when you can't remember your password. It's trustworthy and easy to operate. I once used it to unlock my iPhone. Worked!

For screen-locked iPhones, iTunes and iCloud can usually be used to unlock them.

Launch iTunes on your PC> Turn off iPhone> Put iPhone in recovery mode: Press and hold the Home button until the recovery screen appears> Connect your device to your PC> A popup window will appear in iTunes> Select restore> Restore data from backup.

For iPhone5, you can also use Siri to unlock.
Wake Siri> Ask the time now> Siri will show you the text version and clock> Tap the clock> Find the music list> Select the "Buy more ring" feature> Tap the Home button> Done. If you successfully see the home screen, the unlock is successful. Otherwise, it means failure.

Once the iphone is unlocked, it will be considered unlocked by the factory so that it most likely won’t need to be unlocked again. First, the phone must be charged and subscribed with a carrier so that it will work. It is recommended that the phone has not been reported stolen. You must find the network that you use in the box. This phone may be unlocked at your home. Sometimes, Sim cards can be used to unlock a phone.

Sometimes, it costs money to unlock a phone. So, you should try to do this yourself or be prepared to do this. Once this is unlocked, it is completely able to be used. The phone will not be damaged if you unlock or have it unlocked.
