IPhone is disabled
I have just ordered my iPhone 5 and whilst doing it decided to trade in my iPhone 4s and 3Gs. The 3Gs offer was very low so I am now giving it to my Mum. Problem it has not been used since September 2011 (when I got my 4s) I have forgotten the passcode. I have read most forums on here and tried to restore it, I can even see a previous backup in iTunes. But it looks like it will restore from recovery mode then I get the error saying CANNOT CONNECT TO IPHONE ENTER PASSCODE. Problem here is even if I could remember it (and I think it can only be 1 off a about 6 I always use) I no longer get the screen to enter passcode, just Emergency Call when I move the slider across to activate phone. I have trying unsuccessfully for about 5 days - please help........

p.s. the last thing it looked like it did in iTunes was load the new iOS 6 - but I have no idea if it did as the phone will not unlock :-(
Yeah this was noted on a few website already. It is a bit interesting but you are the first to post it here !

What should I do when iPhone says "iPhone Is Disabled"?
I'm using an iphone 4s with a latest update (ios7). I tottaly forgotten the pasccode. I couldn't recall the password even after a day of thinking. My iphone ended up showing " iPhone is disabled" after several times of entering the wrong password. The iOS7 doesn't show the time remaining for the next passcode attempt. It took me approximately 1 minute to retry my next attempt. The second,third,.....time was about 10, 30minutes and so on. I think i've reached the maximum number of attemps. It has been 6 hours now and it still shows "iPhone is disabled". After trying my last attempt ( i guess it's the last attempt), I found a few video tutorials ( ios7 new bug) that show me how to access photo album even without entering the passcode. I saved a picture of my phone's password in my photo album the night after changing it. Are there any ways that could help me to remove "iphone is disabled" so that my phone will be back to normal and I can access my photo album using the new trick that i found on youtube?? I read several sources saying that when i connect my phone to itunes ( computer that I've synced before ), i'll be able to re-enter my password. I just want to remove the "iphone is diabled" icon from my iphone so that it'll show "slide to unlock" and i'll use the trick to access my photo album. If that's not possible, how do I restore my phone without losing all the data.
1) i need to find a way to enter password
2) restore phone without losing data.
PLEASE HELP ME. I HAVE SO MANY EXTREMELY IMPORTANT VIDEOS IN IT. HELPPPPPPHi there cheesyskill99,

Iphone 4s disabled, connect to itunes not working
My mother in law gave my son her iphone 4s, however she left the password on it. My son tried entering random number (instead of asking what the code was), and now the iphone is locked with message "iphone is disabled connect to itunes". I've tried resetting and restarting the phone with no luck. It was never connected to itunes before, she didn't use icloud, and she never had it set to find her iphone so those options are out. I've tried putting it in recovery mode whole connected to itunes, downloaded the updates, and all looks great, until i get a message that it can not finish as iphone is passlocked. I'm stuck in a never-ending loop. Can I fix it from home or must I drive all the way to the apple store? Thanks
Read: iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled and use the info in the Use Recovery Mode section.

I forgot my iphone's password and it is disabled now because i tried so many times to open it. Now it's saying "your iphone is disabled and connect to itunes" i connected it to itunes and clicked restore. How long will it take for my phone to restore? Is it gonna be 24 hours?
It appears like there is maintenance or something affecting the iTunes server today. I recommend giving it a few hours and trying again. It shouldn't take that long to restore but from what I hear, there is definitely something going on with the iTunes server today.
