As already answered in the Apple recommended response at the top of this thread, you cannot unlock a disabled device via iCloud. You must use a computer with iTunes (or finder if using a Mac with MacOS Catalina) to erase and restore it.


There is also no way to reset a disabled device without erasing it, so if your data is not already backed up in iCloud or iTunes, you will lose it.
