Can anyone Unlock a disabled phone??

I found an iPhone 3G, and the phone was locked with a pass code. The password was entered to many times, and was disabled. Does anyone know how to remove this?

Just remember, that when you do finally get past the PIN, activate the phone and go to use it, if it has been reported lost or stolen, AT&T will match the IMEI Number with whatever AT&T SIM/Phone number is in the phone.
Telling the cops you found it, does not absolve you of turning it in. Finding and using something that is not yours can get you prosecuted for theft. Just like using that car that was left with the keys in the ignition.
Do the right thing and turn the phone in.

    I lost my i phone and bought another which i had to pay$ 125 to get unlocked yesterday, today i found my original i phone and want to unlock the one I got unlocked yesterday so i can use it with another carrier

    No.  These are user to user forums.  Nobody here, nor Apple can / will unlock phones.
    Contact the wireless carrier to which the phone is locked.  Only they can authorize the unlock.
    P.S.  Why would you pay even a penny to unlock your phone?

  • HT201328 Can you unlock my I phone

    I'm going to visit out of country so can you unlock. To my I phone please

    No one here can unlock you phone for you.  This is not an Apple corporate support site - this is a discussion forum for users of Apple products.
    As already mentioned, you need to contact the carrier to which the iPhone is currently locked to.  Only that carrier can unlock it for you.

    I did the reset, the pc scrren said it would take about a half hour reseting which is ok. But midway through the process it apparently disconnected itself from the Ipad and the ipad icon disappeared from the itunes screen.  Will try process again see if it works.  Thanks for the suggestion.

    Am I able to unblock my disabled phone if I don't know the passcode?

    If you have disabled your iPhone you will have to reset it to factory settings, and then restore your latest backup. If you haven't backed up your iPhone recently make sure to do so by connecting it to iTunes.
    More details here: Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

  • How can I unlock my disable ipod

    How can I unloc my disable ipod

    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • How can I unlock my UK phone for AUS use when sourced from UK Apple Store (so without service provider to do it for me)?

    So my Aus iPhone that I had unlocked to do a bit of travelling went for a swim in the Med- my service provider back home informed me that in order to claim on insurance internationally that I should get a new one from an Apple Store and send them the bill etc etc. I did that, and all was fine with the rest of my trip on a prepaid UK sim.  Now I am home and want to put my AUS sim in (where I am under postpaid contract) but my iPhone is not recognising it, with an error message of 'Invalid Sim'.  My service provider cannot help as the product was sourced from Apple originally and not them. Can someone let me know how this can be fixed?

    Okay, so if you purchased your iPhone from an Apple store in the UK then it is fully unlocked.  Apple in the UK sell fully and officially unlocked iPhones, so you should not have a problem with inserting any sim card into your phone.  The phone will be unlocked as long as you purchased the phone in the UK for the full purchase price and not as sim free rather than unlocked.
    Have a word with your provider, as there could possibly be a problem with your sim card.  Get a new sim card and try that.  There is no reason why this should not work on an unlocked iPhone.
