Try resetting your iPhone if you forgot iPhone passcode and have no other ways to fix it. Keep pressing both the Home button and the Power button together for 30 seconds. When it asks you if you want to slide to turn it off, ignore this message and KEEP holding.


Finally, the screen will go off and your iPhone will be re-setting. Wait for a couple of minutes and turn it on the usual way.


If it still asks you for the passcode, the only way to get back into the iPhone is to plug it into the original computer with the original itunes and press "restore".
