Reset your passcode on your iDevice

This will reset your password for your idevice in-case you forgot it. This does not need a dfu-restore.



You will need:

  •  iTunes
  • An SSH Client (Winscp, or ifile on the device should work)
  • A jail-broken iDevice
  • A Brain
Step 1. Open your SSH client. Turn on your iDevice and connect it to your computer via SSH; There are plenty of tutorials of how to do that around the net. Try "SSH iphone" or something similar on google. 


Step 2. Navigate to the root folder. Then go to var. Then into a folder called "Keychains".


Step 3. Delete the file named "keychain-2.bd"


Step 4. Restart your iDevice. You should now be able to unlock it without entering a passcode.


THIS TUTORIAL WAS WRITTEN  FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES AND TO HELP USERS WHO FORGOT THIER PASSWORD. DO NOT USE THIS GUIDE TO GET INTO STOLEN DEVICES!
