Lock Wiper is capable of removing various locks from iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch, including digit screen, Apple ID, iCloud account, restrictions password, and screen time passcode.

Cases that you can use iMyFone LockWiper to unlock your iOS device:

(family version supports up to 5 devices, with discount).

2. Entered exceeded incorrect password attempts and your iPhone/iPad is disabled.

4. Got a locked second-hand iPhone but unable to contact the previous owner

5. Reached the Screen Time Limit but don't know the passcode

1. Unable to bypass iCloud activation lock

2. If Find My iPhone is enabled, after password removal, you CANNOT update or restore device. (If you do, you'll see iCloud activation lock on the screen.)

Part 1. What is iMyFone Lock Wiper?

iMyFone LockWiper is a software that can unlock iOS devices through a few clicks. It's developed by iMyFone team. In addition, LockWiper is compatible with almost all Windows and Mac systems, namely Windows 10/8.1/8/7/Vista/XP and Mac OS X 10.6 - Mac OS X 10.13.

1. Is iMyFone LockWiper Safe?

iMyFone LockWiper has a broad user base and thousands of downloads on the Download.hr portal, which suggests it is safe and legal.

On top of that, no antivirus software detects threats or viruses in LockWiper's download and installation. (McAfree, Bitdefender, Norton, Trend Micro, Kaspersky, and F-Secure, etc.) Besides, iMyFone LockWiper won't bring you harassment or ads from other 3 party software.

So, I'm convinced that LockWiper iOS is safe and reliable.

2. Is Lock Wiper Free?

You can download it for free. And the free-trial version has no differences compared with the full version except the final step. So, Lock Wiper is not free, but you can evaluate the features before purchasing.

The most cost-effective plan is this one: $59.95 Family Plan. It's a lifetime license for up to 5 devices on 1 computer.

3. iMyFone LockWiper Review：Pros & Cons

Now let's take a closer look at LockWiper via the information online and my personal test. Here are the advantages and shortcomings.

Pros:

1. It's multi-functional. Apart from screen lock and Apple ID removal, it also can deal with restrictions and screen time password.

2. Even if "Find My iPhone" is enabled, you can delete/change Apple ID/iCloud account without password.

3. You can remove screen lock without password. And the whole process just needs a few clicks.

4. iMyFone LockWiper has a very simple and user-friendly UI design. You can unlock iPhone easily and smoothly.

5. Compatible with almost all iOS versions and devices, including iOS 13, from the latest released iPhone XR (Max) and discontinued iPhone 4.

Note: if Find My iPhone is enabled, you cannot unlock Apple ID on devices running iOS 11.4 and later.

6. Quick reply from the support team. iMyfone provides awesome after-sales service.

7. High success rate and reasonable refund policy.

Cons:

1. After password removal, your device will be upgraded to the latest version of iOS

2. The unlock process will factory reset iPhone without password and eraser everything on device.

3. You need to install iTunes in advance. If you don't have iTunes installed, iMyFone LockWiper may not be able to recognize your device. You can go to the Apple Official site and download iTunes.

Despite it will erase all data and update iOS, iMyFone LockWiper works great in bypassing lock screen passwords.

4. Does iMyFone LockWiper Really Work?

iMyFone LockWiper works perfectly and you can check some of the posts that I mentioned its functional features:

• Able to unlock Apple ID on device, like resetting iPad without Apple ID password, restoring iPhone without Apple ID, remove iCloud account, and remove Apple ID from iPad without password, etc.

• Can unlock 4-digit, 6-digit password, Touch ID and Face ID. It allows you to bypass iPad disabled, iPhone disabled and unlock iPod Touch devices.

• Capable of remove screen time password and recover restrictions passcode.

Part 2. iMyFone LockWiper Review: Personal Test Based on iPhone X

The iOS Unlock software gives great hope to those who forgot Apple ID or forgot iPhone passcode, but dose iMyFone LockWiper really work? Here you can see the real steps.

Mode 1: Remove Apple ID without Passcode

Step 1. Install iMyFone LockWiper to PC/Mac and run it. Click on the "Unlock Apple ID" mode. If you didn't trust your computer before, you will need to trust it by tapping "Trust" from the pop-up prompt on iPhone.

Step 2. Plug iOS device to computer via a USB cable and click "Start to Unlock".

Step 3. You would face either of these 2 situations.

1. "Find My iPhone" Disabled

If previously you have disabled "Find My iPhone" on your iOS device, LockWiper will automatically start unlocking.

2. "Find my iPhone" Enabled

But if previously you have enabled "Find My iPhone", you'll need to reset all settings on iPhone by going: Settings > General > Reset All Settings.

Then LockWiper should begin deleting your Apple ID and iCloud account.

After that, your iOS device will restart by itself once. And then you'll find your Apple ID and iCloud account are removed. Congratulation! Now, even the previous device owner cannot remotely block or track your device on www.iCloud.com

Next, just create a new Apple ID and enjoy all the iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch features.

Mode 2: Remove the Screen Lock

Step 1. Launch the unlock software, connect iPhone to computer, and then select "Unlock screen Passcode" mode.

Step 2. Click "Start" to start the unlocking process, please pay attention to prompts on the screen.

Step 3. Check if everything is correct and then click "Download" on the right to download the firmware.

Step 4. Then click "Start to Extract"

Step 5. Click "Start Unlock" to start the unlock process. And then fill in "000000" and click "Unlock" to confirm.

It may take a few minutes to finish the unlock process. It's nice that the progress bar is there for you on the right. Finally, click "Done".

Mode 3. Unlock Screen Time Passcode

Firstly, plug your iOS device into computer via USB, and this tool will automatically detect it. Choose "Unlock Screen Time Passcode" and select:

iOS 12 and later, click Unlock Screen Time Passcode

iOS 11 and Earlier, click Recover Restrictions Passcode

For iOS 12/13 and later: you'll need to Click "Start to Unlock" > Follow the on-screen instruction to disable "Find my iPhone" > Click "Continue" > Wait till it finishes > Set up iOS device again

For iOS 11 and earlier, just click "Start to Unlock" > Minutes later, you'll be asked to restore from iTunes backup > After that, you can see the restriction passcode on screen.

Note: Need to enter the password if your iTunes backup is encrypted.

Part 3. Alternative to iMyFone LockWiper: Fone Toolkit Unlock

Fone Toolkit Unlock is also a secure and easy-to-use software that has similar features compared to LockWiper (except Screen Time Passcode).

Pros:

The highlight of the alternative to iMyFone LockWiper is that there is no need to download iTunes in advance.

Cons:

($69.95) a higher price than iMyfone and can't unlock Screen Time password.

It takes patience to download a big size toolkit.

It only supports 1 device while iMyFone LockWiper up to 5 devices.

Part 4. Alternative to iMyFone LockWiper: Tenorshare - 4uKey

There is one more alternative, Tenorshare 4uKey. It also allows you to Remove iPhone Passcode and Remove Apple ID without Password. Now let's see what we like and what we don't like.

Pros:

($49.95) a lower price than LockWiper although it can't deal with Screen Time Passcode (and Restriction Passcode)

Cons:

Tenorshare 4uKey requires you to manually boot your device into Recovery mode or DFU mode (while iMyfone does not). LockWiper is more user-friendly.

The Bottom Line

Finally, you've got to the end of this iMyFone LockWiper review. This post summarizes the pros and cons of iMyFone LockWiper, shows the real test, and lists its alternative dr.fone-unlock & TenorShare 4uKey.

All in all, according to my tests, personally I would say LockWiper is worthy of downloading and trying. 3 software all can successfully delete Apple ID and iCloud account on iDevice. Moreover, they can bypass the lock screen password and solve the problem of iPhone disable and lock. However, only iMyFone can unlock the screen time passcode. And it works fast and is easy to use. I also got fast replies from the support team as well.
