Kids phone displays “iPhone unavailable”

We had to replace the glass on my kids iPhone and now it’s displaying iPhone unavailable, with support.apple.com/passcode above, can’t figure out how to fix it, any ideas?

This usually happens when someone tried typing the password too many times, even after the security lockout screen that iOS has built in. This can only be fixed by resetting the device via Finder (on MacOS) or iTunes (on Windows or Linux).


Here is a useful link that might help you with the situation: If you’ve forgotten your iPhone passcode, use your Mac or PC to reset it – Apple Support (UK)


Have a great day/night and I hope that this helps, m2d.
