You might be searching for a secret password to unlock iPhones.
- You might first attempt to unlock someone’s smartphone without their consent.
- The other scenario would be where you find an old device while cleaning out your drawer and forgot the iPhone password.

Many people believe there is a secret code that allows them to unlock any iPhone they wish. Apple devices are not hotel doors that can be unlocked with a master code.
iPhone passcodes differ from one device to another depending on what the user has set it up as. However, it is possible to find an iPhone passcode and unlock it.
Some people can now use easy passwords. The easiest one to guess is the 6-digit pin code. You can try simple combinations like 111111, 000000, 123456, 987654, etc.
If you have a four-digit passcode on your device, you can try different combinations, such as all 1s, all 0s or all 1234s, and so forth. The same goes for people you know. You can try entering their birthyears.
However, secret passcodes don’t work for all situations. In such cases, it is best to try alternative methods of unlocking iPhones without entering the secret passcode.
