If it is unavailable you cannot unlock it without restoring it to factory settings.

There is no way to bypass the unavailable screen without erasing your device.


Have you seen the Erase iPhone option located in the lower right corner of the screen? Press it, and then follow the wizard on the screen to enter your Apple ID and password to reset your phone to factory settings. You then can set up it and restore from your backup.


If you didn't see the Erase iPhone option, did you try the entry 5 times?


If still fails, you may try Appgeeker, iTunes (use recovery mode), or iCloud (Find My iPhone feature), to reset the phone to remove the unavailable screen.

Where do you see that your cell phone number is associated with another account? Have you followed the posted instructions in this thread on what do to if your phone is unavailable?

It’s too late to get stuff out of your phone. That’s why backups are important.
