unable to unlock iPhone 8

I have an iPhone 8 that I have not used in a while. It does not have a sim card and I am unable to unlock it. It does not show up as a device on my list. It immediately goes to lock mode when I turn it on.

Hi Unclebuck452,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're having an issue with unlocking your iPhone 8. We'd like to help.


What do you see on your screen now? Is it showing that the iPhone is disabled? It's possible that you have entered the passcode incorrectly and the device needs to be restored to be used. Check out this resource to see if this is what you're experiencing:
