How to enable a disabled iPhone?

Is this your issue→If you see a message that says 'Your account has been disabled in the App Store and iTunes' - Apple Support? If it is, click on the blue link text for a way to contact iTunes & App Store support to get it resolved.

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. ;)

To enter restore mode press and hold the power button and home button for 15 secs ( for iPhone 6s and below ),

if you have an iPhone 8 and above follow this

1. If iTunes is open on your Mac or PC, close it.
2. Plug your USB to Lightning cable into your computer.
3. Plug your USB to Lightning cable into your iPhone.
4. Open iTunes.
5. Press and release the Volume Up button and then the Volume Down button. Then, press and hold the Side button until you see the recovery mode screen.

For iPhone 7

1. Turn Off your iPhone 7 if it isn't off already.
   1. Press and hold down the On/Off button on the right side (iPhone 6 or later) or top (all other iPhones) for 3 seconds.
2. Swipe the slide to power off confirmation slider to the right.

3.Press and hold down the volume down button on your iPhone 7.

4.Plug your iPhone 7 into your Mac or Windows PC and make sure iTunes is running.

1. ( for all iPhones ) iTunes should prompt a message that do you want to either update, restore or cancel restore process. press restore soon you need to go through T&C's of the iOS software very soon you iPhone may restore.

I am sorry that i must write very long as i don't know what iPhone model you have. :(

Lawrence provided the answer to your issue just above with a link which says --> If you see a message that says 'Your account has been disabled in the App Store and iTunes' - Apple Support

This will tell you to Contact Apple Support for resolution to your account.

You want to disable it? Maybe it is disabled and you wish to enable it again so you can use it. In that case, read through the thread you just posted to, on any of the 53 pages of information you will find the answer to your question at least once, but I'm going to add it one more time to lessen your time to find it.

And if that isn't enough, here is a YouTube video from Apple Support on the process.

You need to install a SIM to activate an iPhone. It does not have to be an active SIM, but if the iPhone is locked, it must be one that is from the carrier it is locked to. Also, if the device is disabled, you need to do this to get the device to activate. If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support

This has been posted over 100 times in the thread you just added to, but I guess there’s no harm in repeating it yet again. See this Apple support link→If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support

You don't. Your only option is to erase and restore.

If your device has iOS 15.2 or later installed, you can reset it without a computer; check out this link→How to reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when you forgot your passcode - Apple Support. Otherwise you will need a computer:

There is no solution. Yes, ONCE the FBI recovered data from a disabled phone. It cost them $900,000. And the method that was used won’t work anymore.

If they were important photos you should have backed them up. If they were REALLY important you would have enabled iCloud Photos, which would have copied them to iCloud as soon as they were taken. Or any of these other options:

• 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
• back up to Livedrive
• Backup to any other backup or archiving service

Are you sure you did NONE of these basic steps to protect your photos?

Yes, your screen broke. But suppose your phone was lost or stolen. You would have lost the photos. Or you dropped it in a toilet. You would have lost the photos. Or it got thrown under a bus. You would have lost the photos.
