Every iPhone has the ability to use a "passcode" - a four-digit number that must be entered to remove the iPhone from standby when your screen is locked. If you are the original owner of the iPhone and forgot the passcode you chose initially, you can simply retrieve the passcode by connecting your iPhone to the computer that was originally used to activate it.However, it does not help if you bought the phone used and is not the original owner. Put your iPhone in recovery mode to restore it and delete the access code.
1. Connect the iPhone to your computer using the USB cable.
2. Press and hold the power button on the iPhone. The screen will change asking you slide the screen to turn it off. Do it.
3. Press the power button and the home button (the center) simultaneously. The device will turn on again. After a few seconds, the screen will change to a warning triangle. This means that the iPhone is in recovery mode.
4. Open iTunes and click on the iPhone icon on the left side of the screen. Make sure that the tab "Summary" is selected and scroll down until you can see the "Restore" button. Click it.
5. Click "Do not back up" and then "Restore". The iPhone will be restored to its factory settings, so will the access code deleted. Remember that this process will also remove any other data from the iPhone, including music, contacts, notes and e-mails saved.
