You will need to reset the passcode on the iPhone. You will need a computer to complete this task. You can reset your passcode by following the instructions in this article by Apple ➔ How to reset your passcode on a disabled iPhone. All your data on your iPhone will be wiped clean in the process.


If you bought an iPhone and it came as disabled, then I recommend that your return the iPhone and get your money back. This is because the next thing you will run into is the Activation Lock. You will need the previous owner’s password to get past this one. If you do not have that password then the iPhone will be useless to you.
