How to enable a disabled iPhone?

Hello MuneeraAziz,

There is NO WAY you can restore your device, unless you have backed it up before you forgot the passcode. If you have, you can restore the device after you remove the passcode. If not, you WILL have to erase all your phone data, and other important information you may have. To remove your passcode, you require a computer. Borrow one from a friend, or buy one at an Apple Store. If your using Windows, download the ITunes app. For more information, look at this link provided by Apple:

Have a great day and let us know the results.

The answer is on the page above your post, TWICE, but to save you the trouble of looking up 1/4 of a page, here it is again:

See this Apple support link If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support or watch this companion video:

You can’t save your data, I sorry to say that, but if you backed up your iPhone frequently you are going to have that data back if not then you must restore via iTunes using a pc or Mac.

Here is the link for info for you on how to restore an iPhone stuck on disable mode. ;)

This is not a chat, it is a user-to-user technical support forum. All questions here are answered by volunteer users. You will get an answer when another user thinks they might be able to help you. Additionally, you didn’t start with a new post; you tagged on to a 3 year old thread with 51 pages, that contains 750 posts before your posts. It is only by luck that I saw your post.

It isn’t clear whether you have a disabled phone or whether you have a disabled account, or both. So here are all of the possible answers:

If your phone is disabled See this Apple support link→If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support

If it is your Apple ID that is disabled, click the link below that most closely matches the disabled message:

• If you see a message that says 'Your account has been disabled in the App Store and iTunes' - Apple Support
• If your Apple ID is locked or disabled - Apple Support

You are going to have to follow the directions provided in this thread and restore the device to get it working again. If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support If you have not created a backup yet, then you are not going to be able to restore one. If you have not activated it with your Apple ID, I hope the person that you got it from wiped it from their account as they should have, or it may end up being Activation Locked after you wipe it. Good luck, and come back if you have any other questions.

This is the 2nd time the instructions have been posted on this page, and the umpteenth time in this thread:

You cannot undisable an iPhone. You must restore it using iTunes. You can then restore your most recent backup. See-->If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

::sigh:: For people who refuse to read messages before posting a new request that duplicates what has been asked and answered over 100 times, see this Apple support article—>If you’ve forgotten the passcode for your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, or your device is disabled – Apple Support

No, your only option is to restore to factory settings if you don’t have a backup.

Are you sure you didn’t do ANY of these ways of preserving photos?

• iCloud photo sync
• iCloud backup
• iTunes backup
• Transfer your photos to your computer via USB cable
• Apple Photo Stream
• Sync to Google Photos
• Sync to some other photo archiving service such as Shutterfly
• Sync to Dropbox
• Sync to box.com
• Sync to Microsoft OneDrive
• Sync to Amazon Photos
• back up to Livedrive
• Backup to any other backup or archiving service

If the answer is no to all of the above your photos are gone forever.
