It can happen to any of us — You found your old iPhone but can't remember the passcode you set years ago, or you got a second-hand iPhone or iPad with an unknown screen passcode. If you have made many unsuccessful attempts, your iPhone will be disabled for long intervals.

EaseUS MobiUnlock enables you to unlock iPhone/iPad/iPod passcode and regain access to your locked iOS devices.

How to Connect Your Device
To ensure your disabled iOS device can be recognized, you will need to:

1. Connect your iOS device to your computer using a USB/Lightning cable and ensure your iPhone can be correctly detected in Windows.
2. Reboot your iOS device into the Recovery Mode.

How to Access into the Recovery Mode

The methods to enter into the Recovery Mode are various from different devices:

For iPad models that don't have a Home button:
Press and quickly release the Volume Up button. Press and quickly release the Volume Down button. Press and hold the Top button (previously called the Power/Sleep or Wake button) until your device begins to restart. Continue holding the Top button until the Connect to iTunes screen appears. Your phone is now in Recovery Mode.

For iPhone 8 or later:
Press and quickly release the Volume Up button. Press and quickly release the Volume Down button. Then, press and hold the Side button until you see the recovery mode screen.

For iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and iPod touch (7th generation):
Press and hold the Top (or Side) and Volume Down buttons at the same time. Keep holding them until you see the recovery mode screen.

For iPad with Home button, iPhone 6s or earlier, and iPod touch (6th generation) or earlier:
Press and hold both the Home and the Power buttons at the same time. Keep holding them until you see the recovery mode screen.

After your iOS device accesses into the Recovery Mode, you can follow the wizards in the application to unlock your device.
