How can I unlock an iPhone through a computer?

So my phone got water damage, and the screen no longer works. It still functions but I have to use siri for everything. So i just decided to buy a new one. I wanted to back up my phone to itunes on my computer so I can put the new stuff on my computer, but since it wont let me back it up if i have no pass code for the iPhone, and clearly i cant enter it because my screen is not functioning. Is there a way i can open my phone with out touching it or enter the code in on itunes? Without touching the touch screen? oh and it's still asking me for the code on the last computer I backed up to.

No, you can't unlock it from the computer. If you previously synced it to a different computer, and you still have that, it won't ask for a passcode on that one.

    How can i unlock my iphone using my computer?

    With the new IOS 7 therer has been what is know as an activation lock in which disables the user to restore the device to default settings without knowing the password to the apple id. Once you have restored the device back to default settings it will then ask you to plug in the apple id password. Once you have verified your identity with the apple id password you will be good to go!
    Good luck.

    Hi,
    Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
    Turn the Phone On...
    If that does not help... See Here:

    If you are referring to a lock to a specific cell carrier, so you can use the iPhone with a different carrier, only the cell carrier to whom the phone is locked can authorize unlocking. You will need to contact the carrier.

    If the carrier tells you that they do not unlock iPhones, then there is nothing you can do other than sell the iPhone to someone who can use it with that carrier and purchase an iPhone that is officially unlocked.

    Contact tella to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    Only the wireless carrier to which an iPhone is locked can unlock it.

    How can I unlock my iphone with a black screen to back up to itunes?

    Reset the phone:  Press both the home and on/off buttons for AT LEAST 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.  (No data loss)
    If no response, connect to AC adaptor, charge for at least 30 minutes and repeat the reset if needed
    If still no response, there is a hardware failure that needs evaluation by Apple or whoever provides iPhone service in your country.

    Hi Sharon,
    To get your iPhone out of Lost mode, you will need to use the information in this article -
    iCloud: Use Lost Mode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2700
    Specifically -
    Stop Lost Mode or change your contact info
    Sign in to icloud.com/#find with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).
    If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
    Click All Devices, then select the device that’s in Lost Mode.
    Click Lost Mode, then change the information or click Stop Lost Mode.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

    "Ok, but Whats happen if the carrier said that I need the first contract personal information.."
    Then you need the first contract personal information.
    " I Know that all the companys have to unlock de phone... ¿?¿?"
    Not true.
    "Apple could help me then¿?¿? unlocking the Iphone beacuse Apple always have the last word...
    No.  Apple has no part in the decision ot lock or unlock at all.  Lock/unlock is 100% the decision of the carrier.  Apple has nothing to do with this decision.
