It keeps asking me to unlock my phone during configuration. What should I do?

You might see a message asking you to unlock your phone even though it's already unlocked. Try these steps:

Disconnect your phone from your computer. Wait 10 seconds, then reconnect.

Check for software updates on your phone. Install any available updates, then try again.

Restart your phone and your Windows computer. Honestly this solves a lot of issues :)

Try a different USB cable. Use an official Apple cable if you can.

Try a different USB port on your computer. Avoid USB hubs; plug directly into the computer.

If the screen still asks you to unlock your phone after these steps, repeat steps 18 slowly: disconnect, update the phone, restart both devices, then reconnect with a known-good cable and port.
