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.

    If it's disabled from entering the wrong passcode too many times, you'll have to restore it to remove the passcode.  If you're running iOS 7, assuming you have Find My iPhone enabled you'll need to force it into recovery mode in order to restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

    LOST PASSCODE
    You should be able to remove the passcode by restoring the device. Do the following:
    1. Connect the device to the computer to which you normally sync;
    2. Open iTunes (Note: If iTunes prompts you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes" in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212 )
    3. Right-click the device in the left column of  iTunes and select Back up (read this article on how to restore http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 )
    4. When the backup is complete, select Restore
    5. When finished, restore from your most recent backup
    To restore read the restore section in this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    If that doesn’t work you will need to perform a factory restore to remove 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. 

  • HT4623 my iphone is disabled and locked but my computer had died and I need to sync it to open it. Can I sync it on a new computer

    my iphone is disabled and locked due to my 2 year old pressing too many numbers on my lock screen, but my computer had died and I need to sync it to open it and use my phone. Can I sync it on a new computer, or how can I get it to work and open again as I have text messages and EVERYTHING on my phone I need.

    Sorry, just getting back. Since it is a used phone, you may have to contact the prior owner to see if they cleared their Apple ID and passcode. You could not force it into recovery mode? It sounds like it is still locked with someone's passcode. This may not help but I will link it here anyway: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom
