Hey! I was in the exact same situation, but was able to overcome with these instructions.


Make sure you:

  1. Have your macOS and iTunes up-to-date
  2. Reach the white "Recovery" iPhone screen, before starting the instructions (from my experience, doing it from the "iPhone is disabled" screen will not work)
  3. "Hold the power button" all the way until the iTunes screen pops up
