    By coincidence, this happened to my son just last night.  You do NOT have to restore it to a new phone, but you probably want a current backup.
    Luckily, you can still sync and back it up even if it's locked, so connect it to the computer you usually sync it to. Go to the summary page. It's easiest and fastest to use a local backup, so if iCloud backup is on, turn it off and click "Backup now".  
    After it backs up, either click "Restore iPhone", or
    - hold home and the top button until the screen goes black, release the top and continue to hold the home button until iTunes says "iPhone in recovery mode detected". 
    Follow instructions to restore from backup, and then sync to restore content.  Your phone will come up in an unlocked state. If you have any stuff that was purchased directly to the iPhone (only), you'll have to re-download it. 
    Remember to turn iCloud backups back on if you use them.
    If you don't sync you iPhone to a computer then I *think* those instructions with the buttons will put it into a mode where you can restore it from the cloud (make sure it is NOT connected to a computer while you do this). Otherwise, you will have to restore it as a new phone, then go to settings, reset, then restore it from the cloud.

    Try restoring from the backup created at the beginning of the sync process:
    Without connecting your phone, open iTunes, go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"
    Connect your phone, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears on the left sidebar in iTunes
    Select Restore from backup, choosing your most recent backup to restore from
    Disconnect your phone and confirm that your photos are back
    Go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

    Only the carrier an iPhone was sold as carrier locked with can officially unlock the iPhone, or send the unlock request to Apple on the owner's behalf.
    You need to contact Fido in Canada.

  • I have a work phone, how do i reset it

    I just started a new job and was given a old I phone 5c, the old employee is no longer around and I need to get into I cloud and get all his face book contacts off the phone, how do I reset the phone if that is what I have to do

    If the old employees ID is still signed onto iCloud and Find My iPhone is turned on, then you have an Activation Locked device that is, essentially, unusable. Give it back to your employer and ask for a device that is not Activation Locked, or have them contact the former employee to get the Activation Lock removed:

  • I have lost my phone. how can i find it if im on an htc?

    I cannot locate my I phone. how do I make it signal out so I can hear it?

    You would need to be able to login to your iCloud account at www.icloud.com in a web browser that supports the iCloud web site.
    Your iPhone must have the same iCloud account set up on it, with the find my iPhone setting enabled, for it to be trackable in iCloud.

  • I have lost my phone how can I track it or shut it down

    I have just lost my phone how can I track it

    oNly to track it is if you had findmyiphone enabled in icloud settings.
    then you can log into icloud.com and use the findmyiphone feature to track it.

  • TS4006 i have lost my phone. how do i find it?

    I have lost my phone.  How do I find it?

    Only your cell carrier can block an iPhone from connecting to their network; you'll need to call them. There's no way to permanently block an iPhone from being used.
    If you set up the Find My iPhone service prior to your iPhone going missing, then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPhone is turned on, connected to either the 3G or a WiFi network, or has not had the Find My iPhone service disabled or the iPhone been completely restored). If you did not set up Find My iPhone, then there is no way to track it. Contact the police and your carrier and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPhone (the iTunes Store, for instance). 
    Regards.

  • I have a new phone, how do I get my old phones ringtones?

    Okay, I dropped my phone in the pond and fried it. I have a new phone and have retrieved all the apps I want and the limited music I have downloaded. I don't seem able to get my ringtones back that allow me to know who's calling?

    If the ringtones were create manually, it should be in your computer iTunes Library.
    Purchased ringtones can only be allowed to download once. You should transfer ringtones purchases to your iTunes Library manually for safe keeping. if you didn't, you have to purchases them again.
