This is a difficult situation, and I need to be honest about the limitations of security technology immediately. If your WhatsApp data is protected by an "End-to-End Encrypted" backup and you have truly lost the password or the 64-digit recovery key, that data is permanently unrecoverable. Encryption is designed specifically so that no one—not even WhatsApp, Apple, or Google—can unlock the files without that specific key. If this is the password you are missing, there is no "reset" option available; your only choice is to skip the restore process and start using WhatsApp with a blank account.


However, if the "passcode" you mentioned refers to your phone's screen lock rather than the specific backup password, there is still hope. In this scenario, you will need to factory reset your phone to regain access to the device. Once the phone is reset and you reinstall WhatsApp, the app will check your iCloud or Google Drive for a backup. If you had a standard automatic backup enabled (one that was not manually encrypted with a password), WhatsApp will automatically restore your chats once you verify your phone number, even though you had to wipe the device.


Finally, if you are stuck on the WhatsApp "Two-Step Verification" screen (a 6-digit PIN requested when opening the app), the solution depends on whether you set up a recovery email. If you did, you can request a reset link immediately to regain access. If you did not set up an email, you are forced to wait a mandatory 7-day period. After these 7 days, the PIN requirement will expire, allowing you to reset the account and log in, though you will lose any messages that were pending during that lock-out week.

WhatsApp iCloud or Google Drive backup WITHOUT encryption enabled

If you did not enable encrypted backup earlier, the backup can still be restored.

2. WhatsApp chat transfer on another device logged into the same WhatsApp account

If you previously transferred chats using “Transfer to new phone,” you may have an unencrypted local copy.

3. Media files saved in your phone’s Photos app

Pictures, videos, voice notes saved to Camera Roll may still exist separately.
