Unfortunately, a high price to pay. The "Unavailable" message indicates that the wrong passcode was entered too many times and the phone has locked itself out.


If your iPhone is running iOS 15.2 or higher........(it appears that it might be).......you can use the instructions linked just below which will not require the use of a Mac or PC to erase / reset the iPhone and then set it up again.

If you have a backup of the phone, you can use the backup to restore the data on the phone during the new setup.
