How can I save my iPhone data if I forgot my lock screen password?

Because I haven't entered my password for too long, I can't enter it correctly after shutting down and restarting my phone today. 😭
The device is logged in with apple id and lookup device
But after searching the official website and tutorials, I can only erase it and reset it
How do I save my phone's data?? Searched for several methods
1. Connect the iPhone to a trusted computer and automatically back up ✖ ️
Because I haven't used my computer to back up data before, this one doesn't work
2. Can iCloud be automatically backed up under the lock screen?
Before, iCloud only had 5G turned on, which was already full
Now I go to turn on large capacity. Will this iPhone automatically back up if it is not unlocked and connected to the Internet?

Anonymous7680 Feb 21, 2025After restarting, it means that all the data in your phone is now undecrypted, and you can't read the data unless you use your lock screen password to unlock the key partition of your iphone. In this case, you will generally choose third-party software to try passwords one by one with the original backup (regardless of the number of times), but you haven't backed up before. It will be automatically backed up under the lock screen, but only if your data is unlocked, otherwise no one can read your data. No solution.

Anonymous7680 Feb 21, 2025If there is very important data in it, it is recommended to buy a new mobile phone and use it. Put this mobile phone aside, wait for a chip vulnerability to be dug up one day, or try the password several times a day

Anonymous7681 Feb 21, 2025The lock screen password of each fruit phone should be saved to cloud notes. Because the verification of the new machine at some time will require the password of the old machine.

Anonymous548 Feb 21, 2025@ Anonymous7680 If the chip vulnerability is dug up, you can only jailbreak and forcibly delete the Apple ID. It is impossible to decrypt the data. You have to expect the AES vulnerability to be dug up one day

Poster Feb 21, 2025@ Anonymous7680 There are many notes on Xiaohongshu that I forgot my password and used iCloud to back it up. It's because I forgot my password without restarting the device 🥹

Anonymous548 Feb 21, 2025@ Anonymous7680 In addition, it's useless to try several times a day. The number of attempts of Apple's lock screen password is cumulative, and GG will be used up after 10 chances.

Poster Feb 21, 2025@ Anonymous548 There is another cheat method on Xiaohongshu, that is, when other devices log in to apple id, they need to verify the lock screen password of the original device, and then you can try several times... But this shows that the lock screen password is stored on the apple id. Why don't you use iCloud to reset it directly? 😭

Anonymous636 Feb 21, 2025Try the commonly used ones slowly. Can you still get out of 6 digits?

Anonymous7682 Feb 21, 2025Don't try, mine ended up flashing directly. I couldn't log in after changing my password. I clearly remembered the password. There were only two in total, but I couldn't unlock it. In the end, I couldn't help it with customer service. It felt like it was a bug, and I could only recognize it, or you can try it with Taobao or Pinduoduo technology There is also a mobile phone that should not be turned off. If iCloud backup is turned on, you can directly open a membership and start synchronous uploading. I turned it off myself. The good thing is that I backed up it six months ago, but I still need to open a membership to restore it. I didn't know before, but fortunately I only lost half a year's data

Anonymous7682 Feb 21, 2025Every mistake will increase the time. Try it slowly every hour. If there are too many 24 hours later, it seems that you can't try it

Anonymous321 Feb 21, 2025This can be forgotten. Let's take it as a lesson. Many people don't care about passwords. I didn't realize the importance until my account was stolen, and then I used tools to manage them and synchronize them multiple times

Poster Feb 21, 2025@ Anonymous7682 turned on iCloud instead, but it was full. Now because the security verification is triggered, the WiFi is also disconnected after restarting. 😭 does not know if it can automatically back up under the mobile signal

Anonymous1321 Feb 21, 2025Most people commonly use passwords to use back and forth only a few times, and there are only 6 digits. Try several times.

Anonymous548 Feb 21, 2025@ Poster does not save your lock screen password, but your iCloud data is encrypted. One of the encryption keys is your lock screen password

Anonymous548 Feb 21, 2025@ Poster No, the condition for iCloud automatic backup is charging + WiFi

Anonymous1681 Feb 21, 2025So, Android's mandatory password input every 72 hours is still somewhat useful https://i.imgur.com/ee8Lq7H. png

Poster Feb 21, 2025@ Anonymous548 But I just described on the apple official website that "if your device and carrier support it, you can also turn on" Backup through Cellular Network "to use" iCloud "through cellular mobile data instead of Wi-Fi when Wi-Fi is not available. Cloud backup". But it's so vague, I don't know if it can be backed up https://support.apple.com/zh-cn/guide/icloud/mmab848634c8/icloud
