Before we determine to conduct a factory reset iPhone without passcode or iTunes, we will consider two factors: Data Safety and Privacy Leakage.

For Data Safety

What we are worried about is that once we tap on the "Erase iPhone" button, all files and data, including the ones contained in the external SD Card or other storage devices will be deleted at once so that we have no regret if we want to be back in time.

For Privacy Leakage

The built-in method is not a safety measure due to privacy leaks. It's believed that all data and tracks can be wiped by tapping on "Erase iPhone" button.

Part 2. Reset iPhone without Passcode and Computer

Without password and computer, this method can be a basic and important method of factory reset. The prerequisites for using this method are:

1. The device has enabled "Find My iPhone"

2. You can log in to iCloud on another iPhone or iPad.

If you meet these two points, reset the iPad with "Find My iPhone" is a convenient and handy way. This method works for iPhone around or away from you.

Steps for "How to Reset iPhone without Passcode and Computer"

1. Visit iCloud's official website and log in to iCloud on other iPhone/iPad.

5. Select "Erase iPad" from the 3 options and confirm the operation. After that, you will successfully factory reset iPhone without passcode or iTunes.

Part 3. How to Factory Reset iPhone without Computer

Often, iPhone developers have designed a built-in option for resetting iPhone without a computer, namely "Erase all Contents and Settings" which is easy to find, working quite fast and direct.

To try this method, you should:

Step 1. Open "Settings" and then navigate to "General", find "Reset" and you can tap on "Erase all Contents and Settings" option.

Step 2. Tap on "Erase iPhone" to confirm.

Ironically, these deleted data can still be recovered through external software or other tools as a result that we may get bog down in privacy leakage.
