I have got the same problem here. forgot my iPhone 4 passcode and i have connected it to itunes and tried pressing "sleep button & home button" to force restart. But no restore screen comes up. Only "slide to power off" comes up! 😢 what to do. Please help.
It sounds like your iPhone has a broken home butto, which requires service at an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Center.
The iPhone 4 was released seven years ago. Perhaps it’s time to consider replacing it.
Here you go:
Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device

Restore the phone on the last computer you synced to and it will remove the passcode.
I have never synced it on a computer I don't have a Mac computer.. And it's only been disabled to 5 minutes so far I know the first 2 numbers of the code but not the other 2..
You don't need a Mac ... iTunes runs on Windows computers also. You can download it at:
If you never synced it, that's OK. You'll simply lose your content. But you will be able to use the iPhone again.
So I will lose pictures, contacts and everything?
Yes. Unless you set up the phone to back up to iCloud.
Can I reset it any other way than going onto a computer?
No. It's what makes the phone's content secure from anyone who finds or steals the phone. If there was another way around it that would defeat the purpose of a lock code. The only way out is if you had previously synced the phone to iTunes on your PC, but, as you did not, if you can't remember the code you will have to restore it as new and lose all of your content.
So I just need to download iTunes onto my computer. And log into iTunes and then?
Then restore the phone from Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

I understand how to do this. But when I do the steps nothing comes up on my phone.
What do you mean "nothing comes up?" Does the phone work? If it does than that is normal. Restoring from Recovery mode sets up the phone as a new phone. If you mean something else please explain.
