Locked out of phone, can't restore factory settings

my iPhone 4 is seized up and I can't restore because it won't let me enter my passcode. This occurred after I accidentally enabled the voice-over and tried to turn that function off. After repeatedly turning phone off, then on, it still occurs. The voice-over remains on, and when I try to enter my passcode, it doesn't take my input unless I tap the number several time until the field/cell is populated.  Once I enter all cells with my passcode, the phone says that the code is incorrect and locks me out for progressively longer periods.  Since I can't unlock the phone, I'm unable to restore factory settings.  Of course I would like to not have to do this since I don't want to lose all the data on my phone.  Does anyone know how i can unlock the phone and/or restore it? 

Thank You very Much sir. it works on my iphone 4.

    Reset time. Press and hold both the power and home buttons for 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds for your iPad to start on it's own.

    It will work definitly. But turn off the phone first and make sure you push all three buttons tight and turn on the phone. You have to keep them pressed until handshaking logo or pin enter is appear. I have use it so many time since my beloved 6600.

  • IOS 7: Can I restore factory settings through iTunes?

    My wife dropped her iPad 2 and shattered the screen. We are going to upgrade rather than fix it. I would like to get a few bucks for the old one, but I don't want to sell it unless I can wipe everything off of it first. Even if I can't sell it, I don't want to trash it unless I can wipe it clean. Is there no longer an option to restore to factory settings through iTunes? I can't use the settings app because the screen is broken.

    I have one word for you: Sledgehammer.  Won't have to be concerned about security after that. 
    It wipes and disposes at the same time.

    Hey salosawaya,
    If you have never synced your device with iTunes and you forgot your passcode, you'll follow these directions:
    If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
    "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
    "You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

  • I am getting a "not delivered" when I try to send a photo from my Ipad or iPhone via iMessage. I can receive photos in iMessage and I can send and receive photos other than with iMessage. I have tried restoring factory settings etc but no luck.

    I am getting a "not delivered" when I try to send a photo from my Ipad or iPhone via iMessage. I can receive photos in iMessage and I can send and receive photos other than with iMessage. I have tried restoring factory settings etc but no luck. Is anyone else having this problem please?

    I've been having this problem too, but here's the catch: originally it was only with my dad, and only sometimes.  Now it's dad and husband, every time!  Pix go through, via imessage, to everyone else, and they go through to dad/husband if I "send as text" after it fails. 
    And the other annoying thing- the blue bar will run all the way, and it will say "delivered".  So I close out of imessage. When I reopen it again, the "delivered" has changed to "not delivered" with the red exclamation point.  I just googled "imessage not sending photos" and founds TONS of people with the same problem, but no solutions.  (I have rebooted phone, reset network settings, with no luck.  I even had to backup/delete/restore my whole phone the other day for a different reason, and hoped that would fix it, but now it won't send to my dad OR my husband (who is on not just the same carrier, but the same family plan as me)
