How to Reset Apple Vision Pro Passcode
Apr. 23, 2024Initially, if you forgot the Apple Vision Pro’s passcode, there was no way to use the device. You would have to take it to a nearby Apple store to let you in. However, when Apple realized how big this issue was, with the visionOS 1.0.3 update, they added a workaround functionality. But, there’s a catch. You will have to reset your Vision Pro, losing all your data in the process. Well, if you have forgotten your Vision Pro passcode, here’s how to reset it easily!

That’s all you need to do to reset your Vision Pro passcode. The good thing is that when you start setting up your Vision Pro again, you can restore your iCloud backup for it. That will bring all your data back to the device in no time at all.
However, understandably, if your backup is a bit older, you will lose your newer data. And, if you had your Vision Pro’s iCloud backup turned off, all your data is anyway gone. I guess you have learned your lesson. So, it’s vital to ensure that your headset’s iCloud backup is turned on. Here’s how to check that:
While you are at it, why not use theBack Up Nowsetting to be extra sure? I’d recommend doing that.
However, to avoid this passcode inconvenience, I’d recommend setting up your Optic ID. This prevents you from having to go through the passcode hassle again. Optic ID is faster and automatically kicks in every time you put the device on, to let you in. So, if you didn’t set up the Optic ID when setting up your Vision Pro, you can do it later as well. Here’s how:
If you want, you can actually turn off your Vision Pro’s passcode altogether. But, I definitely wouldn’t recommend that, for it removes your Optic ID as well.
