Troubleshooting a Locked iPhone:

Only Appel can unlock this --no one else. So, contact Apple Support. Refer to the following...


Hold It Right There!:

Enter the passcode incorrectly too many times, and you'd likely be locked out for good. So, hold it right there, and refer to this link: If you Forgot the Passcode on your iPad, or your iPad is Disabled - Apple Support. It would be the one you've always entered. If you do not know it, then look for it in a location you may have stored it in.


Being Locked Out...

Have any Proof of Purchase?

Unless you have the original packaging and receipt, you may be out of luck. If you do have it, however, then take this to an Apple Store, or an AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider)! and they may be able to restore it. The reason for this blockage is all about Security & Privacy.

Operating without any backup or synchronization of any kind can be hazardous to your data - something you might very well now learn the hard way.


If your data existed only on that phone, it may be gone. It depends on how Apple decided to repair the phone. E.g., if they literally only replaced the screen, the data might still be there (assuming you remember the correct passcode). If they swapped the whole phone out for an equivalent phone from replacement stock, your data would not be on the new phone and would be gone.
