When do I have to enter my password manually?

Although there is a fingerprint unlock or face ID function in the iPhone, sometimes we find that we have to manually enter a character password to unlock the iPhone. This is a limitation set by Apple considering security. In these cases, you will need to manually enter your password to complete the security verification:

1. The device has just been turned on or restarted;
2. The device has been locked for more than 48 hours;
3. The device has not been unlocked with a password in the past six and a half days, and the device has not been unlocked with Face ID in the past 4 hours (applicable to Face ID);
4. The device received a remote lock command;
5. After five failed fingerprint/face matching attempts;
6. After pressing and holding either volume button and side button for 2 seconds to power off/initiate SOS emergency contact (applicable to Face ID);
7. It is necessary to change or add fingerprint ID or character password.

How many times can I enter the lock screen password, and under what circumstances will it be disabled?

As mentioned above, when fingerprint unlocking or face ID verification fails 5 times, you need to enter a password to unlock and use it. What happens if I keep entering the wrong password?

• Error 1–5 times, please try again;
• Error 6th time, iPhone has been disabled, please try again after one minute;
• Error 7th time, iPhone has been disabled, please try again in 5 minutes;
• Error 8, iPhone has been disabled, please try again in 30 minutes;
• Error 9 or 10 times, iPhone has been disabled, please try again in one hour;
• After the 11th error, the iPhone is disabled.

Therefore, if the password is entered incorrectly more than ten times, the iPhone will be disabled and there will be no chance to try to enter the password again.

What should I do if my iPhone is disabled?

If your iPhone is deactivated by entering the wrong password multiple times by mistake, you can use iTunes flash to unlock the deactivated status.

Before operation, you need to pay attention to the following issues:

1. If the iPhone is disabled, the data cannot be saved and the iPhone will still be disabled after the data-saving flash is completed. If you need to lift the disabled state, flashing will not retain the data in the device.
2. You can only choose the current Apple official open verification version for flashing. For example, if your device is iOS 11 (Apple has turned off verification), you cannot downgrade back to that version after flashing.
3. Before flashing your phone, please make sure you know your iCloud account and password. If you forget your account password, you will not be able to activate and use the device normally after successfully flashing it.

Conclusion

The above are several practical iPhone unlocking methods we have introduced to you. Of course, each method is different and the difficulty of operation is also different. Therefore, we need to choose the most suitable method to unlock because we forget the password, For fingerprint and facial recognition iPhones, the article summarizes some related precautions about locked screen iPhones. I hope everyone has to help.
