How to Use Aiseesoft iPhone Unlocker to Bypass Apple ID and Screen LockNote: Bypassing an Apple ID or screen lock on an iPhone should only be done on devices you own or have explicit permission to unlock. Attempting to unlock a device that is not yours may be illegal in your jurisdiction and can violate Apple’s terms of service. Proceed only if you are the device owner or have authorization.
What Aiseesoft iPhone Unlocker does
Aiseesoft iPhone Unlocker is a desktop utility (Windows and macOS) designed to remove various locks from iOS devices. Its primary functions include:
- Remove iPhone passcode (4‑digit, 6‑digit, Touch ID, Face ID) when you forget the screen passcode.
- Remove Apple ID when you’re signed out or cannot access the account (works when Find My iPhone is off or under certain conditions).
- Remove Screen Time passcode to clear restrictions or parental controls.
The tool automates the workflow by downloading appropriate firmware and applying unlocking procedures. It’s helpful when you’re locked out of your own device, selling a used device you can’t fully access, or need to remove leftover account locks after a factory reset.
Requirements and precautions
- A computer (Windows 7/8/10/11 or macOS 10.12+) with an internet connection.
- A USB cable compatible with your iPhone.
- The target iPhone or iPad.
- For Apple ID removal, Find My iPhone must be disabled on the device for the standard removal flow to work. If Find My iPhone is enabled and you don’t have the Apple ID password, removal may not succeed or may require other steps—some workflows may attempt limited bypasses but results vary by iOS version and device model.
- Back up any important data if possible. Unlocking procedures usually erase device data.
- Ensure the iPhone has at least 20% battery or keep it connected to power during the process.
- Download Aiseesoft iPhone Unlocker from the official site to avoid tampered installers.
Step‑by‑step: Remove Screen Passcode
- Install and launch Aiseesoft iPhone Unlocker on your computer.
- Choose “Unlock Screen Passcode” from the app’s main interface.
- Connect your iPhone to the computer with a USB cable. The software should detect the device automatically.
- Confirm device information (model, iOS version). If the info is incorrect, select the correct model from the dropdown.
- Click “Start” to download the matching firmware package. Wait until the download completes—this may take several minutes depending on your connection.
- When the firmware is ready, click “Unlock.” You’ll be prompted to enter a confirmation code (often “0000” or another code shown by the app). Enter it to proceed.
- The tool will begin unlocking and will erase the device. Wait until the process finishes and the iPhone restarts.
- After restart, the screen passcode should be removed. Set up the device as new or restore from backup.
Step‑by‑step: Remove Apple ID (when Find My iPhone is off)
- Open Aiseesoft iPhone Unlocker and select “Remove Apple ID.”
- Connect the iPhone to your computer. Let the tool detect it.
- If the device screen is unlocked and the iPhone trusts the computer, the software will show device info and offer a “Start” button. Click it.
- The program will attempt to remove the Apple ID. If successful, the device will restart and the Apple ID will be removed from Settings → iCloud.
- If prompted, follow on‑screen instructions to reset network settings or confirm further steps. After completion, you can sign in with a different Apple ID.
Notes:
- If Find My iPhone is enabled, the app may fail or require additional steps (such as jailbreaking or more complex flows) which are not guaranteed and are often limited by Apple’s security updates.
- Removal does not bypass Activation Lock reliably if the device remains associated with the previous owner’s Apple ID and Find My iPhone was active. Activation Lock requires the original Apple ID credentials or proof of purchase to have Apple remove the lock.
Troubleshooting common issues
- Download fails or is slow: check firewall/antivirus, switch network, or try a different mirror.
- Device not detected: ensure the cable and port work, install latest iTunes (Windows) or Apple Mobile Device Support, trust the computer on the iPhone, and retry.
- “Unlock failed” or stuck at 10%–30%: restart both devices, reconnect, and try again; confirm firmware package is complete.
- Activation Lock after Apple ID removal attempt: you may need the previous owner to remove the device from their iCloud account or provide proof-of-purchase to Apple.
Alternatives and when to contact Apple
- If you have original proof of purchase, Apple Support can remove Activation Lock for legitimate owners.
- Use Apple’s official recovery methods first: Apple ID account recovery, iForgot for password reset, or erasing via iCloud.com if you have credentials.
- Other third‑party tools exist (Tenorshare 4uKey, iMyFone LockWiper, Dr.Fone), but results vary and carry similar limitations. Compare options and reviews before purchase.

- Bypassing security intended to protect users can have privacy and legal implications—use responsibly.
Final tips
- Back up beforehand whenever possible.
- Keep the device charged and connected.
- Keep receipts or proof of ownership if you might need Apple Support.
