Forgot the Passcode for my Iphone 4

I have not been using the Iphone 4 I have for quite some time, now I have forgotten the passcode. I went online and checked solutions given on the Apple website.
I tried to restore with Itunes but I get the error "Please switch off Find My Iphone before restoring". Considering I cannot unlock the Iphone, that is no use.
Then, I tried icloud.com/find and I got the error "All devices offline". I think my Iphone is not connected to the Internet.(WiFi)
So I tried the restore mode (Switching it off, holding the home button, it went into recovery mode) and then tried to restore by Itunes.
Well Itunes tells me to update the software and then restore, so I said yes. It downloaded a 1 GB update for around 3 hrs (slow internet) and then suddenly there comes an error "Connection to the server timed out". Tried this thrice, each time I get the same result. Worse, my Iphone is disabled not for some time but it says Connect to Itunes.
Now what do I do?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

I did that (removed successfully, says no devices in your account now) but I still get the same error in iTunes. "Please turn off Find my iPhone in your device settings"

    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

  • I forgot the passcode for my iPhone 4s and i don't have my iTunes account

    Hello folks. I got an iPhone 4s which is a second hand. i don't know the passcode so i can't use it. At the same time i don't have an apple Id account or iTunes account. Anyone there could help me? Thank you so much.

    the device will likely never work until the person it's locked to release the device
    but you can get an appleID account here

    In your case your only solution is to restore it ( see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 ) and you may need to force it into restore mode to do that.  This will wipe everything off it and reset it as new, without the passcode.  You can then redownload purchased content, buy unless you have a sync'd copy of your contacts and photo's they will be gone.

    Hello polo-angulo,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the nature and scope of the issue you are describing. If you are saying that you are getting an error code (3004) when you try to restore your iPhone (because you could not remember your passcode), you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

  • HT4528 I forgot my passcode for my iPhone and I had too much content to back it up in iCloud. How can I unlock my phone without having to restore it?

    I forgot my passcode for my iPhone and I had too much content to back it up in iCloud. How can I unlock my phone without having to restore it? I don't want to lose all my contacts and messages.

    You can't. The ONLY solution is to restore the device. If there were an easy way around the passcode lock, it wouldn't serve much purpose, would it?

  • HT1212 forgot the passcode to my iPhone

    Hi I forgot the passcode to my iPhone and followed the instructions to go to my back up etc, but when I do it tells me to switch off the "find my iPhone" app on my iPhone. But I am locked out so I can't do that. How do I go around this?

    Hello, if you have made a backup and would like to ERASE ALL OF YOUR DATA* on your iPhone so you could restore from a previous backup.
    Please proceed to the following:
    1. Turn off your iPhone.
    2. Keep Holding* the Home Button while plugging in your phone to a cable that is connected to your computer.
    3. Once the connect to iTunes logo appears on your iPhone, you may let go of the home button.
    4. iTunes will ask you to restore your device, follow the instructions.

  • I forgot the passcode for my iPad2. I tried to restore uswing backup at it tells me it can't because I have a passcode. Now what should I do?

    i forgot the passcode for my iPad2. I actually did not forget it, but it is not working. I tried to restore using the backup on itunes, but it is not letting me do this. It tells me that my iPad is locked with a passcode and unable to restore. GRRRRR! Now what do I do?

    You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode first : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/resync your content to it
