HT4623 After upgrade iPhone has disabled.  How do I enable it?

After updated to iOS 7 the iPhone 5 asks for a four digit pass code which we entered during set up but the phone will not accept pass code and is disabled. How do we rectify this ??

Hello Grahammolineux,
I recommend the following article if you are not able to gain access to the iPhone because of a forgotten passcode:

  • HT4623 my iphone is disabled how do I reactivate it?

    my iphone is disabled how do I reactivate it?

    If it's disabled from pass ode lock (as in you forgot the pass ode and put in the wrong one too many times) then the only way to get into the phone is to put it into recovery mode and restore it to factory settings. This will wipe the phone and you will lose all of the data on the phone unless you were syncing with icloud or you have a pre-made backup.

    My I-phone 3 has become disabled, how do I enable it?

    Hello Sandy,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. To get an iPhone out of being disabled, then the next step would be to restore the iPhone. The following article will assist with that process.
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
    iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Regards,

    Yes it does. Also, if you were using iOS 7+ and had Find my iPhone activated, you will need your apple id and password to be able to use the phone again.

  • My iphone is disabled how do i ufactory nlock it without resseting it?

    my iPhone is disabled how do i factory unlock it without resetting it?

    Do you mean you can't enter the right password to unlock it? If so, you should put your iPhone into recovery mode and restore it from an old iTunes backup file:
    Step 1. Press the Wake/Sleep button on you iPhone for a few second until the red slider appears. Slide the slider to shut down your iPhone
    Step 2. Reconnect your iPhone with your computer via the iPhone USB cable and press and hold the Home button.
    Step 3. Do not let go of the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen on iPhone. iTunes will remind of that it has detected a device in Recovery mode. Click OK and restore your iPhone.

  • My iphone is disabled, how do i regain access

    my iphone is disabled, how do i regain access

    Yes, thank you for this.  I had upgraded the OS and then entered in what I thought was the original passcode but my iPhone did not recognize it.  I entered in what i thought was the correct one, but then got locked out.
    I have read this article but I do  not have an  iTunes set up, but I do have  iCloud. 
    I understand that I can wipe my iPhone but once I do it, will i be able to regain access to my phone?  Does wiping my phone though iCloud permit me to reset my passcode?  I don't remember what my passcode was, so I would need to reset that too. 

  • TS1702 My app store, Apple ID, safari, and most other apps do not work after upgrading to iSO 6, How do i solve this problem?

    My app store, Apple ID, safari, and most other apps do not work after upgrading to iSO 6, How do i solve this problem? Can somebody help me please?

    The App store is a problem for many and I have not seen a solution.
    What is "wrong" with your Apple ID?
    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

  • AFter upgrade, iPhone says tv show (HD) can not play on this iPhone

    AFter upgrade, iPhone says tv show (HD) can not play on this iPhone . It is the SNL HD TV SHow will ferrel episode. DOwnloaded from iTunes.

    when you bought it, did 2 versions download? For a bunch of shows I bought recently, I got 2 versions - a HD version and a standard (SD) version. To make room, I moved the files off my computer. When I wanted to watch the individual episodes on my iphone, I'd move the SD version back to the computer, and sync it with the iphone. After the recent upgrades - snow leopard, itunes 9, iphone 3.1, something got broken. When I would transfer the SD versions to my computer to sync with the iphone, for some reason something would rename the files with a (HD) tag at the end of the file name (even though they were the SD versions). Removing that tag in finder was all I needed to do to make it work. Odd.
