Forgot the Passcode to Your iPhone? Here's how to fix it! Today, David will show you how to put your iPhone into Recovery Mode so that you can reset your iPhone passcode. In the process, we'll restore your data via your iCloud backup.

What you will need:

Your Apple ID Username/Password
Your iCloud Username/Password (if different)
A Computer (doesn't have to be yours)
A cable to connect your iPhone to that computer.

Own A New Macbook or Macbook Pro with USB-C ports?
You'll need a dongle/adapter to connect your iPhone!

Here's the two that I own (and recommend):

HooToo UBC-C Adapter (used in video)
amzn.to/2viB9Am

QacQoc for 13 or 15" Macbook Pro (personally, I like this one better, but I couldn't find it in time for recording this video)
amzn.to/2JRG26G

To put your iPhone into Recovery mode, connect your iPhone to a computer and press the following combination of buttons:

Volume + (press and release quickly)
Volume - (press and release quickly)
Side Button (hold for 25-28 seconds)

At this point, you will have to download a new copy of the iOS operating system (which may take some time). Follow the prompts, enter your Apple ID, and you should be in business!
