  1. Is this your corporate iPhone? Then please get in touch with the system administrator of your corporate
  2. If it is your device, in that case, do you have any profile installed by your corporate/organization/enterprise/School Management?
    1. Erase the profile added by you If you have installed a profile on your own --> Install or remove configuration profiles on iPhone - Apple ...
    2. Please contact the system administrator of the organization who provided the profile to you

When All Your Passcodes Stop Working

If every passcode on your iPhone suddenly refuses to cooperate, that’s your device’s subtle way of saying: “Something’s off here.”


  1. Wrong Passcode Entered  
    1. It happens to everyone. If you recently changed your passcode (or someone else did), your iPhone won’t accept the old one—no matter how many times you try.
  2. Lock Screen vs. Screen Time Passcodes  
    1. These are two separate codes with different jobs:
      1. Lock Screen Passcode: Unlocks your iPhone.
      2. Screen Time Passcode: Manages restrictions and limits.  
  3. Restrictions Blocking Access  
    1. Screen Time passcode—whether set by you or someone else—can lock down key functions, including:
      • Changing passcodes
      • Installing apps
      • Resetting settings
      • Using certain features
