visionOS 1.0.3 Update Introduces Password Reset Feature for Apple Vision Pro Users
VisionOS 1.0.3 Marks the First Software Update for Apple Vision Pro Since Its Launch on February 2nd.
Apple Vision Pro, which supports both augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies, hit stores in the US two weeks ago. Now, the Cupertino-based tech giant has released the visionOS 1.0.3 software update for the mixed reality headset with several bug fixes and improvements. The update brings the option to reset the Apple Vision Pro if the user has forgotten their passcodes. Previously, owners who lost their passcodes had to visit the Apple Store or ship it to AppleCare customer support to use the device again. The software update comes a few weeks after the release of the visionOS 1.0.2 update.
Apple released the visionOS 1.0.3 update for its Vision Pro headset on Monday (February 12). The latest version offers the ability to reset the Vision Pro headset if the passcode set on the device has been forgotten. It also includes bug fixes and improvements. With the latest build, users will be able to restore the headset using their Apple ID password. Previously, users who lost their passcodes were required to take their Apple Vision Pros to an Apple Store or mail them to AppleCare customer support to get them working again.
The new visionOS update can be installed by heading to Settings app>Settings>General> Software Update.
The visionOS 1.0.3 software is the first visionOS update provided by Apple since the Vision Pro has been available to customers. Apple issued the visionOS 1.0.2 version before the mixed reality headset hit stores in the US on February 2.

Currently, it is available for purchase through US Apple Store locations and the company’s online store. The spatial computer is equipped with two microOLED panels boasting a refresh rate of up to 100Hz. It is driven by Apple’s M2 processor and a new R1 chip. Additionally, the headset features iris-based biometric authentication and is advertised to provide up to two hours of battery life on a single charge.
