Touch ID is a better option to unlock the iOS devices compared to the Passcode. It was an old tradition of using the passcodes to unlock iPhones on iOS but it’s still there after the arrival of Face ID. Of course, you can unlock an iPhone or iPad if you remember the passcode you have arranged for it. But it will be a difficult task if you have not remembered the passcode. It’s even more dangerous with people who have enabled the Erase Data option.
All the data within your iOS device will be wiped off with 10 wrong passcode attempts. There are only a few options to avoid such problems on your iPhone and iPad. They are as follows.
- Write down the passcode of your iOS device somewhere or in a paper and keep it in your pocket all the time.
- Restoring iPhone or iPad Using iTunes as it requires skill to perform well.
- Unrecognized Touch ID.
Those will be the better options to overcome the wrong passcode data loss issues. But, Today I am going to show you a far better way to Reset the passcode of your iOS device using Gecko iPhone Toolkit.
