There are often situations where you need to use your phone immediately and if you forgot iPhone passcode and had no means to unlock iPhone, the situation could turn into a nightmare.

Typically, users in such situations where they forgot iPhone passcode, end up going to the Apple store or any other repair shop in their area. Consequently, they end up being overcharged for a simple procedure of unlocking an iPhone that generally takes only a few minutes if you have the right tools.
