The phone is "Disabled" because the wrong passcode was entered too many times. This is a security feature that prevents an unauthorized person who might have stolen your phone from accessing the data on the phone.


The phone must now be reset / erased and then set up again. If you have a current backup of the phone, you can use that to restore the phone.
