how do i restore my iphone if i forgotten my passcode ?
iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.4
The instructions are in the Apple support article from which you came. Where in those instructions are you encountering difficulties?
i tried doing it that way but when i connect my phone to itunes it says i have to put in the passcode but i forgot the passcode soi cant unlock my phone. is there any other way ?
From the article:
If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
"You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
- Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
- Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
- While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
- Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
- iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

Is there a way to do it without itunes ? please let me know as soon as possible. thanks!
No, there is not. You'll need to restore with iTunes. Did you buy this iPhone new from an authorized dealer, or did you buy a used iPhone from a private seller?
