I lost my phone and locked it through my apple watch. I couldn't remember my apple ID password so have had to wait to reset my password.
I've managed to find my phone but due to unsuccessful password attempts its locked out. It wont connect to WIFI to update that it is found. I really don't want to lose all my photos please can someone help me I don't want to wipe it.
iPhone 11, iOS 15
If you enter the wrong passcode on your iPhone Lock Screen too many times, an alert lets you know that your iPhone is disabled. (Learn what to do if you see "[Device] unavailable" or "Security Lockout" on your iPhone or iPad.)
Lock Screen Passcode or Screen Time Passcode.
Following this process is the only way out if your iPhone is disabled. The steps given in this link will help you reset the passcode -> If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your ...
Note: If you have forgotten the Screen Time Passcode then restoring your device from a backup after the passcode reset will return the Passcode back to your device. So, please do not restore from a backup.
Thank you,
As I did not receive my phone back for 4 days it was already completely locked (I don't know whether others who found it where trying to open it also).
It wont let me put the phone code in or give me the option to access the phone it just says phone unavailable and it has been over 48hours since I have tried to use it.
I now have reset my apple ID and can access icloud but as it is not attached to the internet it wont update that the phone has been found.
My computer does not even recognise that ive attached a phone to it.
Iphone unavailable
