Q: What if I do not know the iOS device password length?
You don’t need to specify the passcode length in Passware Kit Mobile settings. The software extracts information about the passcode pattern and assigns the corresponding settings automatically.
Q: Does Passware Kit Mobile support 'Disabled. Connect to iTunes' devices locked due to multiple password attempts?
Yes, Passware Kit Mobile supports devices running iOS prior to 12.1 in the "Disabled, Connect to iTunes" state. The software extracts the encrypted user data from the device and starts the recovery process. The time-lock does not affect the passcode recovery, extraction, and decryption processes.
If the device is not supported, the message “The device is disabled and can only be recovered using iTunes" appears, which means that the data required for the recovery is erased from the device, and further analysis is impossible.
Q: Data from what mobile applications can be extracted?
Besides passcode recovery, Passware Kit Mobile detects installed applications and performs instant decryption if possible or starts the recovery process. Below is the list of applications supported for data extraction.

1. Download iRecovery;
2. Enter the Recovery Mode on the target iOS device;
3. Execute the following command:
irecovery -s
4. In the console, execute the following command:
