Forgot the passcode of your own iPhone or iPad, or bought a used one still tied to someone's account? UnlockGo from iToolab is a paid Windows tool that tries to remove screen passcodes, Apple ID, Activation Lock, Screen Time and MDM restrictions.
Which iPhone and iPad locks does UnlockGo address?
The screen-unlock option covers numeric passcodes, custom numeric or alphanumeric codes, and locks involving Face ID or Touch ID. Separate tools target Apple ID removal and iCloud Activation Lock, including devices stuck at the owner-lock or activation screen.
Other options cover Mobile Device Management (MDM) restrictions, Screen Time passcodes, and Find My iPhone. These are distinct workflows, so the appropriate choice depends on the lock displayed on the device.
What do the MDM and Screen Time tools do?
UnlockGo provides an MDM option for bypassing the management lock screen and removing an MDM profile without a username or password. Screen Time passcodes can also be removed.
The program states that these two workflows preserve device data. That claim applies to MDM removal and Screen Time passcode removal, not automatically to every other unlock task.
How do Apple ID and Find My options differ?
Apple ID removal is intended for cases where the associated account password is unavailable. The Find My iPhone option targets the Find My restriction on a device, while Activation Lock has its own dedicated workflow.
Removing a screen passcode erases the device, so data is lost without a backup. Devices that pass an Activation Lock bypass often have limited functions, such as no calls or iCloud. Removing an employer's MDM profile can break company policy, and using such tools on devices you don't own may be illegal. Apple's own support can unlock devices with proof of purchase. iToolab sells a separate UnlockGo version for Android.
