My iPhone 6s is disabled (too many wrong tries - thanks mom) and it needs me to connect it to my iTunes in order to unlock. But when I logged into iTunes and connected the phone via cable, it asked me to approve of the connection from my phone - which is impossible. I do not currently have access to any iTunes which I already connected with my phone in the past. There is no apple support in my region. If anybody knows how to handle this catch-22, please do let me know!

iPhone 6s, iOS 10
