Is there a way to force reset an iPhone without connecting it to a computer?

It's not technically an iPhone, so I'd imagine not. However, I'd like to attempt to use the phone to access a wifi network and then reset it without my computer.

It appears that Apple may have disabled this in iOS 8.0.1, as it has been reported that this is no longer possible.

From the article: As an alternative, you can now reset the iPhone without connecting it to your computer using iTunes, or iCloud. You can choose to do this from the "Settings" section of the device's main menu. In the "General" section, select "Reset." Then select the "Erase all content and settings" option.

How do I factory reset my iPhone with just the buttons?

I tried resetting my iPhone 3GS with only the volume buttons.

When the screen turns black, I hit the buttons a couple times and hold the power button for a few seconds. Nothing worked.

Is there another way to factory reset an iPhone? If you don't have the SIM card you can do this (without having to access bootloader): Hold down the home button until the home screen appears, then hold the lock button down for 10 seconds (you can press a button if you have one handy or it can be done with both thumbs). Once the phone is locked up, tap the lock button until the iOS logo comes on and then hit power off. As others have stated, this will delete everything so be sure to back up your important data before doing this. You should also be aware that this is not the most secure way to do a factory reset as anyone with physical access to your device could re-install the OS after performing this operation.

Can you unlock your iPhone if you forgot the password without a computer?

Yes, you can!

With a little ingenuity and a device called an access point, you can actually recover your iPhone passcode without using your computer. This post assumes that you've got a current iOS firmware on your iPhone. If you don't have one of those (or you're not on the latest firmware), check out my previous post on how to install iOS on your iPhone without needing to access your computer first.

Step 1: You'll Need a Password. The first step to unlocking your iPhone is to reset its password. To do this, you'll need the iPhone's current passcode. You can always look up a recent backup of your iPhone's settings, but be careful that you don't lose any of your data.

Note that a lot of the instructions below assume you've got some level of familiarity with the iOS settings interface. If not, you may want to check out the iOS Settings Guide for a primer.

Step 2: Install an Access Point. Now, we need an access point (AP) to crack the passcode. The AP you install must have a pre-shared key, so you'll need to create one. The process is simple, but a little convoluted:

Create a Wi-Fi network called iPhone Passcode Recovery with SSID iPhone Passcode Recovery. Add a secondary password to the SSID. Click the WiFi icon in the upper-right corner and select Advanced. Add the new network to the list, and click Apply. Now you need to connect to the Wi-Fi network. You'll want to be on a separate network to your iPhone, so that it doesn't try to reconnect to your router and alert anyone who's monitoring your network traffic.

On your iPhone, go to Settings General Network WiFi.e. Connect to the new network. You'll see a new option for iPhone Passcode Recovery in the list of available networks. Select it, and tap Connect.

Step 3: Get Your Hands On an iPhone. Now that you're connected to the network, it's time to connect to your iPhone.
