There are two ways that you can do to reset your iPhone passcode. First, use Find My iPhone. Second, using iTunes. The details of each way are explained below:

- Connect the iPhone to your computer.

- After that, put your iPhone on recovery mode. The process of doing that depends on the type of iOS device that you have.
- iPhone 6s and the older version, iPad or iPod touch: Press and hold the home and power button at the same time. Hold the buttons a little longer until you see the recovery mode on the phone screen.

After the recovery process on your iOS device is done, iTunes on your computer will show a pop-up informing you that there is an issue or a problem with your iOS device and it must be updated or recovered. You can click Recover or Restore iPhone. iTunes will download the right iOS software and install it on your device.
Please do not unplug your device from your computer during the process. After the flashing process is done, your iOS will restart and of course, all the contents on your iPhone will be lost and your iPhone becomes a new iOS device.
