Forgot password on iOS 15.3.1
I recently changed my lock screen passcode on iPhone 12 mini (iOS 15.3.1) with the custom alphanumeric option for it to have an OK button on the lock screen, but I forgot it like a moron.
Additionally, I always enable Airplane Mode before turning it off since it’s not my daily device. I also disabled control center access from the lock screen. This has screwed me even further because it needs to be connected to a network for the “Forgot Passcode?” option to appear.
This means I will have to say goodbye to TrollStore and Dopamine since there’s no other way to restore it using a computer without updating and I do not have any backup.
So this is a warning to anyone who might do the same shit as me. I’m pretty sure there’s no other way to restore it without updating in this situation but just in case I missed any options, I’d love to hear it.
EDIT: I went to emergency call and dialed 0 and it gave me the option to turn off airplane mode! But it doesn’t connect to wifi automatically until first unlock so I’ll have to test my SIM and see.
Edit 2: Although I was able to disable Airplane Mode, it didn’t make the “Forgot Passcode?” option appear, and Find My is also disabled so still out of luck. It can accept phone calls though.
Is it worth keeping it in storage in case there’s ever something like Checkra1n or is that basically impossible and I should just restore and update?
