“My iPhone asking for 6 digit passcode after update, but I never set one. How can I unlock it without password?”
iPhone asking for a never set passcode? It puzzles you. But not me! This error probably is a bug due to iOS system update. As for the solution, to unlock your iPhone, you must factory reset it, which alongside erasing all data on device. In case, luckily, that you have backed up iPhone to iTunes or iCloud, you can retrieve data from backup later.
In this guide, I list 4 simple ways for you to handle the issue of iPhone asking for passcode after update.
Part 1. Enter Default Password to Unlock the iPhone
Part 2. Force Restart the iPhone One or Twice
Part 3. Asking for the Unset Passcode after Update? Unlock iPhone!
Suppose that your iPhone keeps asking for passcode after update, while you had never set a passcode for the screen lock. There is no harm to try the default passcode 1234 or 123456, and the digits depend on the blank number. This can be an effective method to successfully unlock the iPhone passcode without restore.
If the default passcode way failed, I suggest you try force restarting your device once and see what you get.
According to your iPhone model, the steps to force restart your iPhone are slightly different.
iPhone 6/6s/5s and earlier, press and hold the “Power” button and the “Home” button altogether until the interface displays Apple logo.
iPhone 7/7 plus, press and hold the “Power” button and the “Volume down” button altogether until the interface displays Apple logo.
iPhone X/8/8 plus, press and quickly release the “Volume Up” button then press and quickly release the “Volume down” button. Next, hold the “Power” button until the interface displays Apple logo.
