Forgot my passcode and never synced to computer before?

I forgot my passcode to I decided to sync my iPhone 5s to the computer and when I did a message came up saying "Do you want the computer to access information on (my phone name)?" I clicked continue and it says "To allow access, please respond on your iPhone" Except,to do that I would need my passcode to unlock my phone,which I forgot.What should I do?
P.S. I don't want to take my iPhone to the apple store cause they have been ripping me off a lot lately and it cost a lot of money just to do one thing.
P.S. 2. I already tried factory resetting twice to no avail.

You will need to erase it completely (losing all the data on it).
P.S. I don't want to take my iPhone to the apple store cause they have been ripping me off a lot lately and it cost a lot of money just to do one thing.
How so?
P.S. 2. I already tried factory resetting twice to no avail.
So you have completely erased & restored the iPhone?

    Sorry but Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support covers all of the methods. Any chance that you had it set to automatically back up to iCloud and/or sync contacts to iCloud?
    You can check on whether the contacts were synced by logging in to https://www.icloud.com/ and looking at the Contacts app there.
    The "Delete Backups and turn off backups from your device" in the following link describes how you can use a computer to see if there is an iCloud backup of your phone. Follow those instructions to the point of seeing if the backup is listed but obviously you don't follow the rest of the instructions on how to delete. Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support

  • I forgot my passcode and I don't have an iMac computer. What do I do ?

    I forgot my passcode and don't have an iMac computer. What do I do?

    If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
    Otherwise you need a computer with iTunes and an internet connection. A PC is fine.
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • Forgot my passcode and the computer i backed it up on doesn't work, what can i do.

    forgot my passcode and the computer i backed it up on doesn't work, what can i do.

    Erasing the device is supposed to erase the passcode which is supposed to allow you to activate the device again. Let it go for the 10 minutes and then see if you can activate it again. You can also try erasing the device again and see what happens.
    Go to icloud.com/#find.
    If prompted, sign in with your iCloud Apple ID.
    Click All Devices at the top of your browser window.
    Select the device you want to erase.
    Click "Erase [device]" to erase your device and its passcode.
    Use the Setup Assistant on your device to restore the most recent backup.
    This is what Apple recommends, so you have to trust that it is going to work .....

    Hey salosawaya,
    If you have never synced your device with iTunes and you forgot your passcode, you'll follow these directions:
    If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
    "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
    "You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

    I accidentally forgot my passcode and tried 6 attempts but all failed.I don't have iTunes.I turned power off.Now it is not responding.Any suggestions?

    Without iTunes on a computer there is nothing that you can do. If you are locked out because you forgot the passcode your only solution is to restore the iPad using iTunes on a computer.
    I don't know exactly want you mean by it is not responding - does that mean that it will not power up again?
