Forgetting the passcode of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod is not a rare occurrence. Also, users who frequently change their lock screen passwords often complain about being unable to unlock their iPhones again.

1. Refrain from making any changes to your iPhone SE or other iDevices until you find a reliable solution. 2. Do not trust or use any hacking software claiming to unlock your iPhone. 3. Take your iDevice to an Apple Store or seek a trustworthy and effective method to recover your disabled iPhone and data.

Here, we will introduce you to some effective and safe methods that can help you unlock a locked iPhone or disabled iPhone SE/6 without losing any data.

To prevent any data loss from your iPhone or other iDevice, we highly recommend that you backup all your precious personal data before you start to unlock or restore your disabled iPhone SE, iPhone 6, etc. Then you can directly unlock your disabled iDevice. So, let's see how to tackle the problem:

Part 1: Recover Data from Disabled/Locked iPhone SE/6

A professional iOS Data Recovery software should be your best choice to unlock your disabled iPhone SE and restore data easily. If you're not an Apple geek or not very familiar with managing your iPhone or iDevice, then don't try the recommended free methods to recover iPhone data.

Here we recommend a tool - MobiSaver to help you with this issue. This tool can help you recover your locked data from iPhone SE or 6 in just 3 simple steps:

Step 1. Select the Recovery Mode

Connect your iPhone to the computer and run the MobiSaver tool. On the left, select the recovery mode – “Recover from iOS Device” – and click “Start”.

Step 2. Scan your iPhone to find the lost data

MobiSaver will scan your iPhone 13/12/11/X/XR/XS/8/7/6/5/4 automatically and find not only the existing data, but also some lost data.

Step 3. Preview and Recover iPhone Data

You can choose to recover lost data from iPhone 13/12/11/X/XR/XS/8/7/6/5/4, such as photos, videos, contacts, messages, memos, voicemail, or other files. Then click "Recover" to save these data to another location.

After restoring all your personal data from a locked iPhone 5SE, 6, or 7, you can unlock and reactivate a disabled iOS device as shown in Part 2.

Part 2: Unlock or Reset a Locked, Disabled, or Password Protected iPhone SE/6

Here are three ways to unlock an iOS device: use iCloud to erase all data and unlock the iPhone, unlock the iPhone passcode via iTunes, or use Recovery Mode to unlock a disabled iPhone.

Method 1: Wipe All Data from iPhone without Password Using iCloud

1. On your PC, open iCloud and sign in using your Apple ID and password.
2. Click on All Devices, then select the device you want to erase, such as an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, and click on the Erase option.
This will completely erase all data from your iPhone, including the unlock password. After erasing, if you have a backup, you can choose to restore your data from that backup.

Method 2: Unlocking a Disabled iPhone with iTunes

1. Update iTunes to the latest version on your computer, then connect your iOS device (like an iPhone SE) to the computer and allow iTunes access to your iPhone. 2. iTunes will then automatically sync your iPhone and create a backup of all your data. 3. Choose to restore your iPhone, which will give you a selection of different device backups. Select the latest backup. 4. After this process is complete, you should be able to use your iPhone again without needing the password.

Method 3: Restore a Locked iPhone via Recovery Mode

1. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button on your iPhone, then tap Slide to Power Off. 2. While holding down the Home button, connect your iOS device to your computer. Your iPhone or iPad should turn back on. 3. When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. 4. When iTunes detects your device, click OK, then select Restore when prompted.

After following the steps in Parts 1 and 2, you should be able to safely unlock your iPhone SE or other iOS device without losing any data. If your iPhone 7/7 Plus, 6, or other iOS device (like an iPad or iPod touch) is locked, you can use this method to easily resolve the issue.
