Recovering Access to Your Old Phone's Password

If you've forgotten the password to your old phone and it says it will send an email once the process is complete, but you can't access that email anymore, is there a way to switch it to an email you can actually use?

(I'm trying to get into my iPhone 6s.)

Earlier iPhone models

As far as I know, you do not get an email confirmation when resetting your iPhone passcode is complete. In fact, you don’t even need access to your email inbox for a passcode reset.


Please follow one of these two articles to reset your passcode:


iPhone is running iOS 15.2 or later: If you see a iPhone, iPad, or Apple Vision Pro unavailable message or Security Lockout screen - Apple Support


iPhone is running an earlier iOS: If you forgot your iPhone passcode or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support
