How can i reset my iPhone which is disabled in Airplane mode?
hi,
i recently updated my iPhone 5S 16GB to iOS 9 at one of the apple stores. i put my phone on airplane mode and as i didn't want to use cellular services. i then tried to connect to wifi, but somehow that was unsuccessful. so i tried to reset the phone, backed it up at first and tried to reset it. but i soon discovered that its impossible to reset an iPhone without internet connection (logged into iCloud from my mac and tried to erase the iPhone , unsuccessful). i do not have internet connection in the phone, i have limited access to the internet through wifi, which I'm currently using through my mac. my phone currently is in the airplane mode, i have maxed out all attempts of entering a passcode, hence its disabled. please advise a method by which i can reset my iPhone without an active internet connection, if possible , without loss of data.
