I screwed up big time. I forgot the passcode on the day I setup face ID and my iPhone doesn't recognize me anymore because of nose surgery. How can I enter into my iPhone once again?
 
If you want to unlock your iPhone passcode without a computer or Face ID, unfortunately, there’s no official Apple method that bypasses the passcode without using one of the two. Apple prioritizes security, so to unlock a locked iPhone, you typically need either Face ID, the correct passcode, or a computer to reset the device through iTunes or Finder. However, if you're using iOS 15.2 or later, you might see a "Forgot Passcode?" option after several failed attempts—tap it and use your Apple ID password to erase and reset the phone directly on the device. Just make sure the iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data.
 
Here are the few steps you have to follow to fix your issues within in very short period:
  • On the lock screen, enter wrong passcodes until “Erase iPhone” appears.
  • Tap Erase iPhone.
  • Confirm by tapping Erase iPhone again.
  • Enter your Apple ID password.
  • iPhone resets and unlocks.
 
You can't unlock an iPhone passcode without a computer or Face ID for security reasons; your only option is to reset it via iCloud’s "Find My iPhone" feature if enabled.
 
Unlocking an iPhone passcode without a computer or Face ID is possible, but it always involves erasing all data and settings on the iPhone. There's no "bypass" that keeps your data intact if you don't know the passcode or have Face ID/Touch ID enabled and working.
 
If you have already set up "Find My iPhone" on your device and know your Apple ID and password, you can use another device, such as a friend's phone or your ipad, to access the Find My website. From there, you can reset your iPhone, which will remove the password but also erase all the data on the device. If you have a backup, you can restore the data from iCloud. If this method doesn't work, you can only use iTunes or some tools like TunesKit iPhone Unlocker.
 
It is possible to crack an iPhone passcode without a computer or the Face ID, but in every case, this results in the deletion of all data and settings on the iPhone. No bypass to leave the data untouched in case you forget the passcode, or in case Face ID / Touch ID is activated and functional.
 
Unlocking an iPhone passcode without a computer or Face ID is very limited and generally not possible due to Apple’s strong security. The only option is to enter the correct passcode manually. If you forget it, you’ll need to erase the iPhone using recovery mode via a computer or use iCloud’s Find My iPhone feature to erase the device remotely, which also requires your Apple ID credentials.
 
Note: To unlock your iPhone without computer or Face ID, data loss will happen:(.
There are 2 options enable you to unlock your iPhone without passcode/Face ID and computer, with the same condition "Find My iPhone is enabled":
Option 1: Tap Forgot iPhone option at the iPhone Unavailable screen > choose Start iPhone Reset > enter the Apple ID password.
Option 2: Login iCloud on another phone or tablet with the Apple ID used on the locked iPhone > choose Find My > choose your locked iPhone > tap Erase This Device. Alternatively, you can use Find My app on another iDevice to do the same job.
Or you need a computer and iTunes/Finder or tools like Passixer to unlock your iPhone. But note that if Find My iPhone is enabled before, you need the Apple ID to remove iCloud Lock after unlock.
