Replacing the logic board is, essentially, replacing the phone. Everything is stored on the logic board (data, locks…everything) so if you put a new logic board in, you have a new phone :>).

Ok, thank you cause it's alot of money n ppl be scamming these days
Realize that when you replace the logic board, your TouchID will no longer be paired and will be disabled. Since this is no longer a physical button in the iPhone 8+, the home button will not work either. You must get the home button that was paired with the replacement logic board to maintain TouchID functionality.

There is a better way, plug it into iTunes and you can reset the phone to factory settings. If that doesn’t work I believe if you get the password wrong enough times it automatically resets. Hope this helps!
