Factory resetting an iPhone 14 requires either your iPhone passcode or Apple ID password. However, it is not uncommon for users to forget their passwords, especially if they have not been used in a while. This can be a major inconvenience, as it prevents you from accessing your iPhone and all of its data. This article will guide you through how to factory reset iPhone 14 without passcode.
Using iTunes to factory reset iPhone 14 is a traditional and official way provided by Apple. It is worth noting that, however, if your iPhone is linked to an Apple ID, your iPhone will be stuck on Activation Lock which requires your previously synced account and password during the Guided Access. If you're sure to do so, follow these steps:
Step 1: Install the latest iTunes on your computer (running Windows 10 and later).
Step 2: Connect your iPhone 14 to the computer, then put the iPhone into recovery mode. (If you're running iTunes, close it.)
Step 3: Launch iTunes. If asked to Update or Restore, select Restore and then follow the onscreen instructions to complete the reset.
