HT4528 how do i get my iphone unlocked?

my iphone 4 was stolen and i recently got it back but the person that had it changed my passcode and i must have entered the wrong passcode so many times it locked it down. how do i unlock it? or how can i get it back on the screen to enter a new passcode?

If you forgot (or don't know) your passcode, restore the device from backup on the last computer it was synced with when the passcode was turned on... this will remove the passcode. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.

  • HT2309 How do I get an Iphone unlocked from O2 if O2 refuse to do it?

    Does anyone know how to get an Iphone unlocked from O2 if O2 refuse to do it?  I've been told that warranty could be void if someone else does it (ie a backstreet stall)

    If you are in the UK you can buy a PAYG sim and become a customer again
    follow the O2 instructions to get it unlocked
    You have to be active with an O2 sim for O2 to be able to unlock

  • HT1349 how do i get an iPhone unlocked

    I have just got an iPhone and it appears to be locked, how do I go about getting it unlocked?

    Contact the original cellular provider. They are the only ones that can authorize unlocking. Some do, some don't

  • HT4528 How do I get my iPhone 4 to get the screen from being frozen on the "Connect to iTunes" and to be recognized by my iTunes?

    Alright, so what had happend to cause this, let me just sum it up for you in the steps I took.
    Turn on iTunes.
    Plug iPhone into the laptop in order to be recognized by iTunes.
    Start to update the phone onto iOS7.
    Message pops up saying I have to download latest version of iTunes.
    Download iTunes update.
    Try again to download iOS7 update onto the phone.
    Says that it'll take around 2 hours to complete, so I wait.
    After about 45 minutes to an hour later, it says that there was an error that had occured.
    Screen on the iPhone remains stuck now on the part where it says "Preparing the download..."
    After another hour or so it then switches onto the "Connect to iTunes" screen and remains there.
    iTunes isn't recognizing that I'm plugging it in.
    Already tried troubleshooting it with my laptop and it said that both "Apple Mobile Device Drivers weren't responding."
    Decide to look more into it and find out that in order to fix that problem, I'd have to uninstall iTunes (in a specific order at that)
    After uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, I plug the phone back into my laptop, and now it's making the noise that I'm plugging it in, but it still isn't showing up onto iTunes.
    So there you have it. I really hope that this gives you any insight as to what my situation is at hand. So... Please help? :/

    Thank you for your reply. Yes, I had been looking in e-mail accounts and there was no sent folder. However, your email prompted me to check again just now and the sent folder has reappeared and the last message I just sent a few minutes ago is in there. Thank you. I guess after re-establishing the account it just takes a couple of hours?

  • How can I get my iphone6 unlocked?

    How can I get my iphone unlocked? I purchased it via Verizon edge. 

        arps49,
    The great news about our 4G LTE devices is that they are already unlocked. You can use a SIM card from another carrier but we won't be able to guarantee that the device will work the same way as they do when you are connected to the VZW network.

  • How do I get a factory unlocked iPhone 3GS out of (connect to iTunes) mode?

    How do I get a factory unlocked iPhone 3GS out of recovery (connect to itunes) mode? 
    Once the iPhone 3GS is in DFU mode and plugged into iTunes, the restore and update process begins. The restores process are as followed:
    Extracting software > Preparing iPhone for restore (blank screen) > Preparing iPhone software for restore > Restoring iPhone software > Verifying iPhone restore > Restoring iPhone firmware > The iPhone cannot be restored. An unknown error occurred (1).
    I clicked on the more information tab and was taken to a website with some troubleshooting. I did what they suggested (based on the error #) and still no luck. I’ve tried to restore and update about 10 times now but the same message keeps coming up at the end. What should I do now?
    P.S: I have the latest version of iTunes (11), my windows is up to date etc ...

  • How can I get a legally unlocked iPhone 3G in US?

    How can I get a legally unlocked iPhone 3G in US? Where, How, And what is the total price. Thanks!

    As has been stated, you cannot purchase an unlocked iPhone in the US. This kbase article indicates whether iPhones sold in particular countries are carrier-locked (in some cases, you can contact the carrier for unlocking).

  • How can i get an iphone 3gs unlocked to any network?

    how can i get an iphone 3gs unlocked to any network?

    Only the cell carrier to whom the iPhone is locked can authorize an unlock, so you will need to contact the carrier. Note that if the iPhone is locked to AT&T, they will not unlock an iPhone at any time for any reason.

    You must contact the carrier it is currently locked to and get them to unlock the iPhone.  Apple will not do this as it is part of the subsidized contract with the carriers.
