Apple releases visionOS 1.0.3 update, addresses forgotten passcode, other issues

If you or someone you know just snagged an Apple Vision Pro, this will come in handy.

Apple on Monday released its visionOS 1.0.3 update for the wearable headset. marking the first update that Apple has provided since the device launched. The software comes two weeks after the release of the visionOS 1.0.2 update.

The update adds an option to reset the Vision Pro headset if the passcode set on the device has been forgotten. It also includes unspecified bug fixes.

The Vision Pro launched without a way to reset the device without first unlocking it with a passcode, so those who did end up forgetting their passcodes had to go to an Apple retail store to reset it. With the update, if a passcode is rejected a certain number of times, users will get an option to erase the Vision Pro.

Erasing the Vision Pro headset doesn’t remove the Activation Lock, so a potential thief who stole the headset would still have to log in with the original Apple ID that had been coded to the Vision Pro.

The new ‌visionOS‌ update can be installed by opening the settings app and going to the software update section.

If you’ve had a chance to try the visionOS 1.0.3 update, please let us know about your experience in the comments.
