You will need to restore the device using a computer. The process will erase the device. Later you can restore your data from a recent back-up. Instructions here…

cannot receive passcode, husbands phone is locked out and says unavailable. My husband was doing massive amount of yard work yesterday. He had his phone in his pants pocket. It obviously had his pass code entered over the limit of times. So has been trying to get it going again. He has only used a 4 digit passcode, what has been sent is 6 digit.
