Hi Heather2o14,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone is disabled after too many password attempts and you have not synced your iPhone with iTunes before, the article you found has steps that can help:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

See the steps in the section called "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer."
Best Regards,
Jeremy

Dear Sir,
My iPod 4G is locked. How can I unlock it?
I didn't use a password to lock it. After enabling wifi
it is automatically locked and ask for passcode.
Pls help as soon as possible.
Thank you.

Ipod touck locked. How can I unlock it ?

ipod touck locked. How can I unlock it ?

If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the iPod from the computer to which the iPod is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPod into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

Something may have corrupted your User account permissions. Whatever it was that did that is likely to do it again, and will require further investigation.
To reset your User account permissions perform the following. It may not fix the problem but it will not make it any worse:
Boot OS X Recovery by holding ⌘ and r (two fingers) while you start your Mac.
When the Mac OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities > Terminal.
In the Terminal window type resetpassword and press Enter. A window will open behind Terminal that looks like this:
Do not enter a new password.
Select your startup volume at the top. From the dropdown below it, select the user account with the problem.
At the bottom of the window, you will see Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs.
Click the Reset button.
Quit Reset Password
Quit Terminal
Quit OS X Utilities and restart your Mac.
Back up your system before doing anything else because disk corruption is another possibility that has to be considered.

HT1349 My itunes library file is locked, on a locked disk, how can I unlock them?

My itunes library files are locked, on a locked disc, how can I unlock them?

Huh?
Your iTunes library is on your home computer. That is strictly under control of someone in your house.
Your iTunes account, which can be accessed with your Apple ID and password can be disabled by Apple. Is this what you mean?

I am trying to reinstall my OS X Mavericks thru OS X Utilities under command R, however Recovery HD is locked. How can I unlock it? Thank you.

i am trying to reinstall my OS X Mavericks thru OS X Utilities under command R, however Recovery HD is locked. How can I unlock it? Thank you.

Are you able to do this:
Install or Reinstall Mavericks, Mountain Lion, or Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.
If not then you need to do this:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

HT201210 forgot my new password and have iphone 4s locked. How do I unlock ?

Forgot my new password (16 carachters) & have iphone 4s locked. How do I unlock?

Connect the iPhone to the computer with which it is normally synced
and restore the iPhone. If you do not normally sync with a computer,
connect to any computer with iTunes and restore as new phone (in this
case, all data will be lost). If the preceding does not work and the 16
character password is the result of connecting to your employer's
network, you may need the assistance of IT at work.

If i forgot my lock password on the main screen how can i unlock the phone

You will need to restore your iPad from the same computer that you most recently synced to.

If you can't do the restore then you will need to try recovery mode.

My Macbook Pro hard drive got locked. How can I unlock it?

My Macbook Pro hard drive got locked. I have replaced the drive with a new drive. I put the old drive in an external case. How can I unlock the old drive to get my pictures off and put on the new drive. I can see the drive but I cannot get to the iPhoto files because it is locked. Is there an easy fix?

How did the drive get locked? That doesn't JUST happen for no reason. The only way to unlock it is to put it back in to the Mac it came out of and UN-LOCK it.

My used iphone 5c is I cloud locked. How can I unlock the phone to use it?

How can unlock an icloud locked iPhone when I don't know the previous owners information?

If you're able to contact the person who set the lock, send them this link and tell them to follow its instructions.
If not, you can't activate the device but may be able to get it refunded. Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)

Hi,
Take it to you nearest Apple Store and see what they have to say. You should back up you data before you go in but in your case you can not.
