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, 2025@ Poster # 21 It's useless to leave it on, unless you don't restart. After restarting, all data is unlocked "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? 😭 " This method is feasible. In my impression, this loophole broke out last year or the year before last. I don't know if it has been plugged now. In addition, this does not mean that apple id has stored the lock screen password. There are at least two implementation schemes: 1. Save the salted hash and compare the value after the password hash you entered 2. Encrypt the password and send it to your other device, so that the other device can verify whether the AES encryption can be unlocked using the password you provided Either way, Apple doesn't know your lock screen password, so there's no way to talk about resetting it

Anonymous7331 Feb 21, 2025Let me suggest an idea. There is a bug in a certain version of iOS, and the input of the lock screen interface occasionally misses words. Re-enter it right again. So, it's likely that you didn't remember the password wrong, but the correct password that you missed when you tried to enter. Therefore, it is necessary to try the two or three passwords that you think are most likely a few more times...

Anonymous8110 Feb 21, 2025A few years ago, when I was on iPhone11, I suddenly wanted to set up ApplePay and change my strong password on the road. As a result, after setting it up, I forgot my six-digit password while chatting with friends. Fortunately, the mobile phone is not locked. If you call customer service and say that the mobile phone can still be opened and verified, you can reset the password through it. But unfortunately, I hit the screen lock button halfway, and turned it on again because I had just set the password and needed to enter it again, but I forgot it. After ten times, the phone was locked. But fortunately, there was still room for automatic backup in iCloud at that time, so I reset the phone and restore it. Mentioning ApplePay to make a digression. If you use ApplePay to bind and unbind the same bank card back and forth several times a day, there is a limit to the number of times per day. Once I changed my mobile phone to a new one, I reset it three times a day (including setting up ApplePay in the setup wizard). As a result, most bank cards failed to contact the issuing bank, and I couldn't change other mobile phones and watches. Later, when I looked for a bank branch, several people couldn't do it for more than an hour. Finally, this limit will be reset until 0: 00 in the morning, and it can be set normally at zero crossing.

Anonymous8121 Feb 21, 2025My iPhone clearly remembered the password but it was wrong. Later, I had to restore the backup of iCloud and flash it again So iCloud backup must be turned on, don't try to save that little money

Anonymous4878 Feb 21, 2025After restarting the phone, there is no solution. The first floor is very detailed. A little advice for passers-by: Don't be reluctant to spend money if you have important data that cannot be regenerated, open an iCloud with a large capacity, and run backups every day. In addition, the term "lock screen password" is very confusing. The lock screen is just one of the many functions of this password. This password should be called the ultimate invincible key of iPhone. In this way, users may be a little in awe of this password.

Poster Feb 21, 2025@ Anonymous8121 I feel like I also encountered this bug 😭, obviously I didn't change my password I also followed other tutorials on the Internet to verify the login with other people's devices. I need to enter the original device unlocking password, and the verification passed But just can't log in

Anonymous8290 Feb 21, 2025I set the iPhone without a password. What value can the iPhone 6 have, so I just press Home and that's it. Until later, when I found out that I wanted the password, my brain was shorted. After thinking about several common passwords, they were all wrong, and I didn't remember until later. This is passwordless!!! But there is no data, so it doesn't matter hahahaha

Poster Feb 22, 2025@ Anonymous1404 I feel like I've encountered a bug. I tried to reset my Apple ID password using "Apple Support" on someone else's iPhone The process needs to verify the lock screen password of my original device. I tried the one I was more sure of, and the verification passed But with this password I have tried to unlock iPhone several times and all reported an error, now there is only one chance left, I dare not try I tried contacting Apple customer service Customer service explained that when resetting the Apple ID password, the lock screen password that may be my history will also take effect But I asked my friends around me to try it, and I can only use the current password, but the historical one is not good!!! Now there's only one chance left and 😭 doesn't dare to try again Apple customer service can't confirm the method of "Apple Support" password verification Judging from the dialogue process, they have already handled many such cases

Poster Feb 24, 2025@ Anonymous1404 The plot is pulled back again... Found that the mobile phone lock screen password verified by Apple ID was retrieved in "apple Support" It's my old phone earlier, because I haven't changed the password all the time, so it passed 🥲 But now the problem is the optional validation device My latest iPhone never appears... (you can see it when you log in to iCloud) Ask Apple customer service why it doesn't appear The customer service said it was a black box strategy of the security team, but the details were not clear...
