Way 1: Bypass iOS 17 Lock Screen with the previous password [New]

Unlike iOS 16 and earlier, if you enter an incorrect password 5 or more times, a new message suppot.apple.com/passcode appears on the iOS 17 Lock Screen in addition to the traditional iPhone Unavailable try again in X minutes message.

In iOS 17 and iPadOS 17, Apple has added a new solution if you forget your new password: Temporarily use your old passcode when you forget your new passcode on iPhone or iPad. Passcode Reset allows you to access your device with your old iPhone or iPad passcode within 72 hours. With this new feature, you can bypass iOS 17 Lock Screen without erasing iPhone.

Note: This method is only valid for 72 hours after the password change.

Step 1: Enter the incorrect passcode five times until "iPhone Unavailable" appears on the Lock Screen, then tap Forgot Passcode? > Enter Previous Passcode.

Step 2: You are required to enter the previously used password and create a new password to unlock the Lock Screen on iOS 17.
