Q: How to unlock or restore iPhone 4s without passcode or wifi?
I gave my old iPhone 4s to my 7 year old daughter to use for games. It doesn't have cellular service and the wifi card in it is broken. She changed the passcode on it and now doesn't remember what she changed it to. How can I unlock or restore it?
I have tried restoring it through my computer, where there are previous backups of this phone, but it says that it can't restore it until i turn off "Find My iPhone" in the settings. But i can't do that because I am locked out of the phone.
I have tried robot it up start into iTunes, but iTunes says that it can't update anything because it can't detect an interest connection on the phone. That would be true, because i don't have cell service on it and the wifi card is broken.
Is there any way to simply HARD RESTORE it without these other steps? i don't mind losing all of the info on the phone.
THANKS!!
iPhone 4S
