HOW TO RESTORE A DISABLED PHONE

i recently locked my iphone and forgot password. I have disabled my phone and am away from home and can only access itunes from a different computer. Does anyone know how to restore iphone 4 from a new computer?
When i plug in it gives me error message since it is locked.

Put the device in DFU mode (google it) and then setup as a new device.

    Connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore via iTunes. If iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter the passcode, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

    While device is connected turn off
    Then hold down power for 3 seconds
    Then without releaseing power hold down home button for 10 seconds
    Then without releasing the home button release the power button. for 15 seconds [or until iTunes says device needs to be restored.
    This restore is a little different from other restores as is restores ROM firmware the OS and user and system data.
    If this does not resolve the problem try redownloading iOS 5.

  • How to restore a Dev phone to normal

    Hi guys i was looking at buying a 2nd hand iphone. But its a dev phone. The guy says he has tried to restore it through itunes, but it always fails. Any ideas? Thanks

    Depends on what OS is currently on the phone. Apple does not allow you to downgrade to 3.1.3 if 4.0 beta is on the phone, so you'll have to wait until 4.0 is officially released. You could try going into recovery mode to see if you can install 3.1.3, no guarantees it will work though:
    1. Turn the phone completely off and disconnect it from cable/dock.
    2. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, itunes running.
    3. Hold down the home button on the iphone.
    4. While holding down the home button connect it to your computer.
    5. Keep holding down the home button until you see a connect to iTunes screen.
    6. If successful, you should be able to restore as a "new" device.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
