For some reason my passcode won't work for my iPhone 5s. I've tried connecting it to itunes to restore it but it keeps saying that it can't. What can I do to reset it?

I never changed my passcode but the one I had isn't working. I can't get into my phone and I don't care if I have to reset everything I just want in. I've been looking things up all day. Itunes won't let me do anything so I dont know what else to do. Please help!

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.4

You may need to try this More than Once... Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...


Take your time... Pay particular attention to Steps 3 and 4.


Some users have reported as many as 8 or 9 attempts were necessary before success.


After you have Recovered your Device...


Re-Sync your Content or Restore from the most recent Backup...
