IPhone disabled, broken power button, no passcode, how to restore?

iPhone 5 says "iphone is disabled", the top power button is broken, no possible way of putting in the passcode. Need to restore/restart/unlock/whatever it.
How do?

Try this:
Use Find My iPhone
If you enabled Find My iPhone, you can use it to erase your device.
Go to icloud.com/#find to see if you enabled Find My iPhone.
Click All Devices at the top of your browser window.
Select your device and click "Erase [device]" to erase your device and its passcode.
Use the Setup Assistant on your device to restore the most recent backup of your device.

  • How to Reset iPhone with Broken Power Button

    Hello
    Just recently I've had the problem with my phone, it had a non-responsive black screen and it would not turn back on
    If you have this same issue, please follow these steps;
    1) Connect your iPhone to iTunes
    2) Enable backup of your phone via iCloud
    3) Restore your iPhone to the latest backup that you can see, it would be soon; due to the backup being directly to your iCloud wirelessly
    I'm not 100% sure if it will fix your issues as well, but it worked for me. Good Luck!

    There's no way to reset the iPhone without the power button.

  • Disabled iphone 5 no power button

    how do i restore my iphone 5?  it has been disabled because my daughter forgot her passcode AND the power button does not work so i can't put the phone into restore or DFU mode.

    There's nothing you can do if it has a broken power button. Except take it to an Apple store for an out-of-warranty replacement.

  • Iphone cant restore- Broken power button

    Hi. My friend bought a factory unlocked iphone 3g from a friend here in norway which had a broken power button. he thought it would be ok without it until...
    IT GOT BRICKED!!!
    "Somehow" he bricked it and it doesnt want to turn on. i tried getting it into dfu mode/restore mode or whatever its called by holding down the home button while plugging it into itunes. it worked the first time but while it was downloading the new firmware, the cable got unplugged. we tried to get it to get recognised by itunes, but this time it didnt work. not sure where the original owner got it from, i think maybe from norway, but im not sure. can he repair it here in norway and how much would you expect the price to vary from (any currency ok)

    no

  • IPhone 2G restart loop/broken power button

    My original iphone has a broken power button.  Yesterday, out of nowhere, after taking calls, listen/watching podcasts, texting, etc, I get the restart loop.  I waited until the battery died so maybe I could get it restored if I sync it to itunes.  Didn't work.  itunes didn't recognize it and it charged up to looping again.  Any suggestions?  Is this a brick for good?  I preordered the 4S last week; jealousy maybe?

    Usally they will just give you a a brand new iphone 4 assunming you are still in a apple care plan? But i dont think they will give you a iphone 5 even at cost.

    Actually the rice is not very effective, you really want to use a desiccant. There are products out there that work really well, the silica gel is a much better alternative to rice. See our blog post about what to do next time this happens:

  • Broken power button

    broken power button

    I sent in my iphone5 for a repair/replacement unit on november 9, 2013, I was having an issue with the power button "doesn't work at all". It has no dents or any other issues aside from the POWER BUTTON. The good thing about apple is that the customer is always updated as to what exact stage of your iphone is at. After 20days, I received a text message: I went to apple to get the replacement iphone5. The  POWER BUTTON issue is resolved but i noticed some other issue on the replacement unit. New ISSUES: Dents on the right side near the screen and it also has screen discoloration on the screen itself. It got worse! There might have been some other issue on the replacement unit if I had used it for a couple of hours. I am so disappointed about the service. I asked the manager to have it replaced but I need to wait for another 2 week to 1 month TAT turn around time. Apple would lose a lot of its loyal customers if they would not do anything about it for improvement of their service when it comes to replacing a defective unit.

  • Do we have available apps for restarting iphone because my power button is very hard to push?

    do we have available apps for restarting iphone because my power button is very hard to push?

    Think about it... how could that happen?  If the phone is off, no software can run, i.e. no assistive touch.

  • Where can i repair my iphone 5 lock/power button?

    I have a problem with my iphone 5 lock/power button, it works randomly, but the main issue is that my carrier won't agree to repair/replace it under warranty since it has some minor scratches in the sides.
    Here (at mexico) we do not have apple stores so I can't take it there, also apple refuses to take it under warranty because the iphone was purchased directly with the carrier. Any suggestions on how can i solve this issue?
    I think it kinda lame to have the year long warranty just to realize you cant make it valid here at mexico under some dumb technicallity.

    Until you sort out the "dumb technicallity". Use Assistive Touch for perfect Virtual Lock Button. Tap Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock. This can even be used to turn iPhone OFF. To turn ON connect to power, charger or USB of computer.

  • Broken power button on iMac G4

    I am considering the purchase of this iMac. It has a broken power button. What are the implications of this? The present owner says that he just plugs it in and it starts up, and that besides he just leaves it on all the time anyway. How big of an issue is this? Can you advise me on how easy a power button might be to repair or if it is very necessary to repair it (assuming their is a workaround-keyboard startup?).
    Thanks in advance!

    Given the said iMacG4 model and year are not discussed, one possibility
    may be to buy a third-party for Apple Macintosh keyboard with power key.
    If nothing else is wrong with the computer, it may run awhile without trouble;
    but access to the physical power key (on the logic board; may be hard to
    buy the part by itself to replace it) is handy in troubleshooting or restarting
    when something freezes up. Unplugging and re-plugging the iMacG4 to
    make it go/make it stop is not recommended. Issues can result; I am
    aware of a few problems in the G4 and earlier G3 iMacs and others, due
    to the owner unplugging the machine instead of performing maintenance
    or repairs in a timely and orderly fashion.
    Since that machine is likely no longer covered under an AppleCare Plan,
    you could either have someone else eventually replace the logic board
    or other parts as you find them; or if you are technically minded and have
    a good attention to detail with adequate work habits, fix it yourself. The
    service manual, a download in PDF for techs, may still be available. It
    was intended for trained personnel, and damages worse than the first
    problem may result from improper procedures being done inside the iMac.
    That said; good luck & happy computing!
