Locked out of my iPhone help

I Have an iPhone 4S and have changed my password today , and tried unlocking it after charging it from 0% battery and now it won't unlock with either of the passwords the new one! and the one before I reset it. Help me please, I don't know how to unlock it

The person at Sprint gave you wrong information, that would be if it was your account's password, not a device's passcode. If it's showing the connect to iTunes screen then you will need to plug the phone into your computer and you can then reset the phone - you may need to put the phone into recovery mode in order to do so : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
You will then be able to restore/resync your content to it.
If you do it via a computer that it's not synced to , and which therefore doesn't have a backup on it, then (from here) :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

Locked out of my iPhone 4 but iTunes won't let me restore it. Help!

I'm locked out of my iPhone 4 but when I try to connect it to iTunes to unlock and restore it, iTunes is requiring me to enter my passcode on my phone, which the phone won't let me do because I'm locked out. Help please!?

You need to restore using the computer you previouisly synced with, otherwise you'll be asked for the passcode.
You didn't forget your passcode (that you use every day) AND lose the computer you sync with on the same day, right? In that case, get the passcode from the phone's actual owner, or use recovery mode.

HT4972 Im locked out of my Iphone 4 help me cant restore

PLEASE someone help Im locked out of my iphone 4 the password is not the one i thought so can i byepass the passcode with out restore

1. Start iTunes on your computer (be sure it's up to date).
2. Plug cable into USB port on the computer, not an external hub or keyboard port.
3. Connect cable to phone.
4. Press both home and power buttons until the Apple logo appears, then continue pressing the home button alone until iTunes detects the phone in recovery mode.

I am locked out of my iphone. In resetting my passcode I must have hit a wrong digit, because the 4 digits I thought I used Don't work (and of course not my old passcode). I have tried the instructions both for "if you have previously synced your device with iTunes" and "If you have Never synced your device with iTunes" . Neither has worked and I'm in a vicious circle with each time after lengthy downloads it still all ends with the program, & my phone, asking for my passcode to proceed. I'm not sure if I have ever synced to my mac book (i may have) but my address book seems to automatically update on both devices without the need to plug in. Thank you for any knowledgable help that could efficiently get me out of this passcode ****!

Hi DRussell,
If you have not sync'd your device to your Mac then you will have to force the phone into recovery mode and restore as a new device. Read the information in this link and follow the instructions to recover the phone:

It sounds like you’re describing two issues, the first issue is related to the Zoom accessibility feature and the second issue is related to the device being disabled.

I was recently locked out from my iPhone.

I was recently locked out from my iPhone. I dont want to wipe it totally though. Help?

The only methods are described in the this article. Your data will be erased, but if you backed up your phone to either iCloud or iTunes, you can then restore the backup with your data.

I got locked out of my iphone and it says i had to connect to itunes but how do i fix it now

i got locked out of my iphone and it said i had to come to itunes to fix this and now i cant figure out how to reenable my iphone can anybody help me?

Start iTunes on the computer you used to setup/backup the iPhone, connect the USB end of the cable to the computer, then while holding the home button on the iPhone connect the dock connector end to the iPhone. That will put you in recovery mode and iTunes should see the iPhone. Then proceed to restore from backup as that will remove the passcode and allow you to access the iPhone.

Place the iPhone into Recovery mode. If successful, this will require restoring the iPhone with iTunes which is required anyway in this situation.

Locked out of my iphone, please help

So I plugged my daughters iPhone into my iMac and restored my iPhones backup by mistake. The backup that was restored is very old and I have no idea what the passcode is. When I try to restore one of my daughter's backups i receive a message "Go to iCloud Settings on your iPhone and turn off Find My iPhone before restoring your iPhone." Obviously I can't access the phone to disable find my phone so i logged into icloud.com but the only device in there is my existing phone. So I am in the situation where I cannot turn off find my phone for my daughters phone and are locked out without being able to restore.
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Force the phone into recovery mode, as described here, & restore it:

‘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 cancelling 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

iPad,iPod,iPod Touch Recovery Mode
You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.
Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.
If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit
