For everyone commenting that storing passcode within a contact wouldn't work because you can't access the phone - store them as an Emergency Contact. You can then access that contact from the Lock Screen, even if you're locked out of your phone (found under Emergency, then Medical ID)

Very good explanation, many thanks. One alternative point though - I've got my iPhone set to erase after 10 incorrect attempts at entering a wrong passcode. So because of this, I've stored my iPhone passcode in my 1Password Vault as I will never get to that 15 minute lockout, and I really want to avoid the faff of erasing and then restoring my iPhone from iCloud. I do also regularly backup my iPhone to iCloud, just in case.

You left out the iCloud Account Recovery Contact option (before you forget your PW). I just found out about this yesterday but it’s been around for a while. You can add someone who you can contact if you forget your iPhone or iCloud PW and they can give you a temporary PW to access your acct or device.

True, although it would still serve as a good memory aid (something that you could safely view each day in order to remember your passcode for when you need it). I do also immediately followup by saying that an even better idea is to do this for your partner, and them to do it for you, that way you'd be able to obtain the code as and when you need it.

How is it possible to forget this passcode. You're using it every days. It is like saying you don't remember where you live because you don't remember your adresse and how to get there. Anyway if you are afraid of losing this passcode write it in a piece of paper. Try to remember where this piece of paper is...

Hi, Thanks for your video. I've got an iPhone 12 Pro Max, with the software updated last week. Only a part of my problem is similar to this shown in the video, being faced with "iPhone Unavailable". But the major difference is that I TOTALLY REMEMBER MY PASSCODE. It is locked and due to several attempts, the phone's experiencing a 1-hour cool down. So, am I really supposed to be facing data loss? since I do not have any backup. What should I do? On whom shall I put the blame? Apple Co.? They have not even mentioned this problem on their website's Support Community. There is also no official Email address I can contact them with. As a last resort, may I ask you any help regarding this, please?

Thank you for your videos which have helped a lot especially the typing one! I was wondering if you would address the problem of making and storing passwords. This seems to be an increasingly complicated situation made worse by data leaks and compromised security systems. Apple is now suggesting I change many of my passwords. I am suspicious of third party Apps like Dashlane, but should I be? I use far too many different passwords to actually remember them all so they have to be kept somewhere.
@ronaldmarcellana5169

Well explained. But with the new IOS, if you tried certain times with the wrong password it will erase all the content of your phone automatically. This could be the way of Apple preventing other people to make use of your lost or stolen phone. Would you suggest to turn off this feature to my iphone instead? Thanks in advance.

Had this issue- icloud kept demanding I sign in again (with password) which I did but then it demanded the passcode of my ipad or iphone; when entered it was rejected. Update: seemed to have solved the issue by turning off passcode temporarily in all my devices and signing into iCloud without it objecting. Whew!

Hi hun what iPhone is it and what update is it running on? The reason I ask this is mine was locked and also it was on flight mode! If it’s not a really old iPhone and running later than iOS 15.2 then you can only fix it via linking it to iTunes. *#000# and about 20 other numbers and #hash and *STArs on your key pad.. sorry I can’t remember it but scroll through any of the vlogs in search bar type in unlock iPhone with out iTunes / computer without Wi-Fi using a code.This will get you the erase iPhone and emergency button. BUT DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK AS ITS WORKED FOR ME BUT I STILL HAVE TO RESET MY ITUNES YET! Mine was a cracked screen and too many attempts. Maybe I will make a vlog my self actually showing my next moves and how over come the problems! Hope this helped.

U missed one big tip and it was not expected from u to be honest. After 10 unsuccessful attempts, it asks for erasing the data mandatorily. But users can turn that off by Going into Settings> Face ID & Passcode > Erase Data, Turn that option off. U will never have to erase data even if u wrong input more than 10 times.
