Hi Myreiac,
Here's what the Apple Support site says you can do if you do not have access to a computer when your device has been disabled:
If you are using Find My iPhone, you can use Remote Wipe to restore 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.
You can access Find My iPhone via the Find My iPhone app on your iPad.
Good luck!
Cheers,
GB

HT1212 My iPhone has been disabled because of a forgotten passcode how can I get into my phone

My iPhone has been locked because I forgot my passcode. How can I get into my phone?

Restore it as explained in the article you were just reading. If you're running iOS 7 with Find My iPhone enabled, you'll have to force it into recovery mode in order to restore it (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808).

HT5100 my iphone 4s is locked how can i get into my phone

my phone is locked and im not able to do aanything,
How can i get the itunes logo off the main screen

If you mean activation lock, the only way to activate it is to enter the ID and password that were used to activate it originally. If you are not the original owner, you'll have to contact that person for that information, or to have them erase it and remove it from their account as explained here: Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account. No one else can help you with this and there is no way around it.

HT4859 I forgot my passcode and then my phone reset and backed up but the icould its updated back to has lost all my data.... How can i get this back?

I recently forgot a new passcode on my phone so it became locked. i went to rest this via itunes but when it came to restore the phone non of my data including contacts, apps, messages, photos etc are available. It seems to have restored to a back up from after the phone was wiped. How can i get these back?

There's one other variable, although it shouldn't really come in to play but worth checking anyway. Is it possible that the backup was made using a higher version of iOS than the one you are running now? For example, if you were running the iOS 7 beta, then restored to version 6.1.3, the backup would not be listed as you cannot restore to a backup made on a device running a higher version of iOS. If that's the case, you would have to update to the same or higher version of iOS in order to access your backup.
Also, you can redownload apps and certain other purchased media (in most countries) as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.

I'm stuck at the activation stage! I don't have the original sim card and I don't know what carrier it was originally on! How can I get into my phone?

I was wondering if there was any way of accessing my iPhone 4 without a micro sim card. I am currently at the activating section, and after it tells you to find WIFI, it says to enter a sim card. I bought this iPhone off of my friend and he took out his original sim card! I dont know what carrier he was using. Is there any way I can access the phone just to play music on it for now?

Buy a H20 Wireless micro SIM card off eBay for $.99. You can activate the phone/SIM from their website. H2O uses AT&Ts network.

How can I get into my phone if I cant use the touch screen?

I went to go use my phone and when I attempted to get to the screen to type in my passcode, the area to swipe didnt work. The only feature that "works" is the little arrow on the bottom to get to the brightness feature, etc. I cannot turn my phone off manually or adjust anything on the screen itself. I cant even get to the emergency call screen. Im not sure if restoring the phone through itunes will delete anything I currently have on there... Please help!

Hi eskimoerin,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you have not already, first try resetting your iPhone using these steps:
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
You can find the article with these steps here:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the touchscreen is still unresponsive after your iPhone resets, use these steps to back up the data on the device and restore it using iTunes:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
iTunes: Restoring iOS software

All the best,
Jeremy

Follow the directions here to force the phone into recovery mode & restore it:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
This will remove the passcode.

My I phone was set up by a friend and she put her name instead of mine and now I can not access any downloads as she has the password...how can I get my own phone in my name now...thank you in advance!

My iPhone was set up by a friend and she put her email address in and I do not have her password and can not get into my phone to download anything now...what can I do ? Thanks in advance

As explained here, have your friend turn off Find My iPhone (iPad).
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
Hand her the iPad so she can do that.
Then do Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings and start over with a brand new iPad (as if it just came out of the box).

I can't get into my phone! It won't let me type my passcode.

My iPhone 4 was on voiceover (don't know how) and now it won't let me put anything into the passcode feild. So I can't get into my phone at all. I just got this phone yesterday. Can anyone help me?

No worries mate! I'm glad I could help.
If you're worried it might do it again you could try turning off the passcode lock and then turning it back on. That might help. If it does it again, you could try backing up your iPhone and restoring it in iTunes.

HT201412 My I phone five isn't responding and when I turn it on, I get a white screen with black lines and I can't get into my phone. What is happening?

My iPhone five decided to go crazy and give me a white screen with black stripes and I can't get into my phone. I can only use Siri! What's happening?

You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPhone forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

My Iphone is disabled and I plugged it into Itunes to restore it but it's saying that I can't do it without turning off "Find My Phone" in my setting, but obviously I can't get into my phone. What do I do?

HT4623 I just upgraded my iPhone to OS 7.0.3 and I created a passcode. I regret having done that because the code I keep typing in isn't being accepted and then my phone gets disabled for 1 hour. How can I get into the settings to unset a passcode

I just upgraded miy Iphone and now have 0S 7.0.3. I ended up creating a passcode; which for some reason does not allow me to clear to get into the phone. How do I get into my phone to change the settings so I will not be required to use a passcode every time I want to use my phone? Carin

Hmmm...
First of all, your profile says you have an iPhone 3G. Is this true? The iPhone 3G cannot be updated past iOS 4.2.1.
Second, your post says you "just upgraded my iPhone and now have iOS 7.0.3." That is not possible either, as the latest iOS is 7.0.4.
You can go to Settings > General > Passcode and turn it off there ... if your iPhone is truly not jailbroken or hacked.
