How to Unlock a Disabled iPhone: A Comprehensive Guide
If your iPhone is disabled, you'll need to follow these steps to unlock it:
Connect to iTunes or Finder: Plug your iPhone into a computer you've previously synced with, or open Finder if you're using a Mac with macOS Catalina or later.
Put your iPhone in Recovery Mode: Depending on your iPhone model, the steps to enter Recovery Mode may vary. For iPhone 8 or later, quickly press and release the Volume Up button, then the Volume Down button, and then press and hold the Side button until the recovery mode screen appears. For iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, press and hold the Volume Down and Sleep/Wake (Side) buttons simultaneously until the recovery mode screen appears. For earlier models, check Apple's support website for instructions.
Restore your iPhone: iTunes or Finder should detect your iPhone in recovery mode and prompt you to restore or update it. Choose the "Restore" option to erase your device and reinstall iOS.
Set up your iPhone: Once the restoration process is complete, your iPhone will restart. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your device. If you have a backup, you can choose to restore from it during the setup process.
Unlock your iPhone: After the setup is complete, your iPhone should be unlocked and ready to use.
If you didn't previously sync your iPhone with a computer or you can't use Recovery Mode for some reason, you may need to contact Apple Support or visit an Apple Store for further assistance.
