How to #restore a #forgotten passcode



I had this shocking experience about remembering my screen lock passcode😅 I know, I know!!! it's part of growing old😂 They say it's called "the senior moment" when you constantly and surprisingly forget something as weird as your mobile's screen's passcode. To be honest, I was speechless myself. I couldn't believe I could be so stupid and how on earth could I even forget the passcode that I always use to unlock my iPhone 14 plus. This was the first time. Okay, I admit that I also have this forgetful syndrome when it comes to email passwords- That's it! I almost cried due to my stupidity😅😭 I've pressed a combination of different passwords that I can remember, but none of those helped. My mobile was already locked for 24 hours on the 18th of February, 2023.    

So what did I do? How did I resolve this problem? How did I unlock my iPhone 14 Plus?

I was hopeless, so the first thing that comes to my mind was to contact Apple Technical Support. I have to book an appointment so the problem is noted or recorded. I talked with the staff she was kind and patient listening to my situation. She referred me to the iMedic at Fashion Island Mall, Ramintra the following day, and she said she will record my case.

I was at the iMedic on the 21st of February 2023. I got a queue at the counter, and when it was my turn, the lady approached me. I told my problem about the screen lock due to a forgotten password or pin code. She said that it wasn't covered by Apple. I was confused and answered, "it is still under warranty, I bought it in December 2022". Besides, the face lock didn't work🙄 (she slightly smiled.. as if I'm a joke or what?🙄) so I had to use the screen passcode, which resulted to lock screen. She didn't even check the warranty coverage yet, but she already said it's not covered and it's a different Apple Shop. 

Beware of this alibi. I was lucky that I went to Apple Technical Support and chatted with one of them. I asserted that I spoke with someone online and she referred me to this shop. When I said that you have to look at your system under my name, contact Apple Tech Support to verify if I'm telling the truth. I gave them my iPhone 14 Plus, and she said that it was okay for now. It's free but next time, it'll cost 500 Baht to unlock. 

So, she told me to come back after an hour to pick up my mobile. They restore it for me for free. Thank God!❤️ My reasoning skill saved me from a 500 Baht charge (seriously?🙄). Then, I came back to get my phone it was as good as new. They asked me to use my iCloud account (email and password), and it was done. However, it won't be 100% restored until I remember the freaking screen passcode from before. 

I didn't know if I'll cry, laugh, or be angry at myself sometimes. I really hate forgetting something🤯 so now, I just wrote down my passwords and sent them to my other email and create a backup account in Gmail to keep all my passwords there and my important documents. I also have only 3 passwords to remember instead of 6!🥴  

I went home happy!🤗😍😘 It was a very important lesson about simply remembering a passcode.
