Hello,


Your iPhone will be disabled for different time intervals as a security measure. This occurs when you input the incorrect password into your phone consecutively. The disabled time starts at 1 minute and scales up after every subsequent incorrect password attempt. Phones can be disabled for several hours, or even days. That's why it's important to ensure that you carefully enter the correct password after the phone is disabled. Your phone will be disabled again after the next incorrect attempt. These attempts are reset after you enter the correct password.


Hope this helps,

-Yama
