I got an old iPhone I can't remember the pin on. Was my wife's phone and the screen started getting flakey around the area where some of the digits in her usual pin. She changed it a couple days before we replaced it and now we can't remember the pin to reset it.
Would really like to know how to reset it at this point so I could sell it to Best buy or something.
Try entering the pin wrong repeatedly. May not work, but there’s a setting to force a wipe if it’s entered incorrectly 10 times. Will only work if that was enabled that at some point, but it’s worth a shot.
