I am assuming that the passcode to get to the home screen has been forgotten and therefore you son cannot get back into the iPhone. If this assumption is correct then you will need to reset the passcode. You can reset your passcode by following the instructions in this article by Apple âž” How to reset your passcode on a disabled iPhone. You will need a computer for this task and all your data on your iPhone will be wiped clean in the process.
