Q: i thought i lost my iphone. so i activated mobile me, sent a message and turned the sound on and locked it. then i found my phone a short time later and the screen would not come up or unlock and the phone will not stop vibrating.

I believe you have to unlock it from the find my phone website on the computer.

Try this link for further information and see if it tells you how to unlock it. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/find-my-device/

My only other advice for you would be to connect the iPhone to iTunes and do a restore. You should be able to restore from a backup. See if you are able to complete that. I will have to read on a little more about the locking in find my iphone to see what you do afterwards.

Okay. Have you tried to reset the phone by holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release? If the iPhone restarts, you should be able to enter the 4 digit passcode you locked the phone with remotely. If that doesn't work, my only other guess would be as listed above, try the restore. I've looked everywhere I can think of.

I would advise you to let the battery drain completely (you know when it stops vibrating), then try to plug it in and turn it on after it has a chance to start up.

Pretty much.

Did you check out this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4006?

Did you get an email stating the passcode was changed?
