No previous backup! the mac has been stolen
</div>


<div>
If he has an ITunes account there should be a backup in the cloud.
</div>


<div>
Apple Support should be able to assist you with that if needed.
</div>


<div>
Unfortunately not! any other third party software you may think of?
</div>


<div>
I was reading an article on the Apple site and it looks like no way to recover. :(<br />

How do you know he did not have ICloud enabled on the phone? Usually it's enabled by default.
</div>


<div>
The iPhone shows 70G data, he never paid for storage on iCloud
</div>


<div>
Oh.... they only give you 5 gigs of storage.
</div>


<div>
I do not have any good news for you. Sorry I could not be of more help.
</div>


<div>
Just to clarify .. you have the iPhone 7 and you can open the iPhone and use it .. what password has been forgotten? &nbsp;The iTunes/iCloud password? &nbsp;Or is it the PIN for the phone itself?<br />
<br />
If the Mac is stolen .. you should immediately try and get into iCloud .. reset the passwords and use the Find my Mac<br />

<br />
if this is the password your &quot;boss&quot; cannot remember you can reset it in a few ways but it will depend how the iCloud account was setup<br />

<br />
If the iPhone was paired with a Mac PC and that PC is gone .. it will not materially affect the iPhone BUT depending on how your &quot;boss&quot; had setup their music and photos etc .. some or all of the data may be recoverable.<br />
<br />
For example your &quot;boss&quot; might have used iCloud for storing contacts and calendars and notes and even photos but just not the iCloud backups. &nbsp;So if you can get into iCloud you might be able to recover or access that.<br />
<br />
<br />
If you get a NEW Mac it is possible to pair the iPhone and new Mac but you have to go through a few steps<br />

<div>
I think he said his boss lost the pass code to the phone but what I am wondering how does he know he has 70 gig of data?
</div>


<div>
@Edward .. yes precisely as iPhones come in 32, 128 and 256Gb so not sure where 70Gb is coming from. &nbsp;<br />
That's why I asked Rezwan to clarify precisely what passcode he is referring to and as he mentioned the Mac was stolen I covered a few related issues
</div>


<div>
From the question, the password lost is the PIN to unlock the phone and from the further comment of the author, no iCloud backup is available.
</div>


<div>
That is correct the 4 digit PIN to unlock the device
</div>


<div>
If the he has version IOS 9 there is a way to by pass. If he has the latest version then you may be out of luck.<br />

<div>
The question already said that it is an iPhone 7 Plus and the iOS is 10.0.1.
</div>


<div>
I found another site that talks about IOS 10.2 &nbsp;<br />

<div>
@Jackie, I am on Decaf today... :)
</div>


<div>
Me 2.<br />
<br />
We do not discuss how to bypass security in this forum.<br />
<br />
So, we cannot offer any help on a lost PIN.
</div>


<div>
I just shared what was on legitimate sites.... not hacker sites. Going forward I will make sure I do not discuss in forum.

How to get iTunes backup or any sort of backup with no passcode?

The iPhone is a smartphone made by Apple Inc. It and the iPad, along with several other mobile devices from Apple, run on the iOS operating system, which has its own topic, as does the iPad for device-specific questions. Native iOS applications are written in Objective-C or in Swift using the Cocoa Touch frameworks or HTML5 compiled with the help of a package manager such as Adobe PhoneGap; a common IDE is Xcode.

iPhone

iOS is a mobile operating system developed by Apple; it is a derivative of the Mac OS X desktop operating system, with which it shares many (but not all) common frameworks and other components. These include Cocoa Touch, the Mach/Darwin/XNU kernel and code from the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD). Each iOS application runs in its own secure sandbox to prevent altering other applications, the operating system, or any other data.

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.

Apple OS

Programs written for the Apple operating systems are distinguished from software created for other operating systems in that it must be approved by Apple for use on its devices, whether it is from Apple (Final Cut, iWork, Keynote, Logic Pro and GarageBand are popular titles), or is a third party application from Parallels, Nuance, Microsoft and Amazon, among many others.
