Unfortunately to bypass the iPhone Disabled/Unavailable screen you will need to erase the device, allowing you to restore and set a new passcode in lieu. Niel is right and that this is a security measure, otherwise someone can just pick up your iPhone, bypass that screen and access all of your data.


Even if you were to go to a shop and have them replace the screen digitizer, which likely is the issue, they would still probably wipe your iPhone. They do that for about all repairs.


You'll need to start fresh and start backing up your iPhone as soon as possible, before disaster strikes again.
