From the User Guide... If you forget your passcode, you must restore the iPhone software. See “Updating and Restoring iPhone Software” on page 256.

Hello, well i just purchase iphone 4 from pakistan.. I want to update my ios but that didnt work. I just saw the status of my phone.. So iphone was lock.. I need lil help . Thanks
ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. You will have to contact them. Since you are not the original purchaser of the phone and do not have service with whatever carrier it might be locked to, it is highly unlikely you will get it unlocked.
Since it was hacked to unlock it originally, it is highly likely that the phone will become a brick if you attempt to apply a legitimate unlock.
Actually, it is probably already a brick.
There is nothing we can suggest other than to google "iphone dfu mode" and try doing a restore in DFU mode to see if that can bring it back to life. It may. If so, you will then need to work with the carrier it's locked to or sell it and buy a new phone. -

Hello malsobhi,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Serial No: 86******YNP
Please resolve my problem i am very worry about my ipone
Regards,
Ahmad Salman.
<Edited by Host>Sounds like your iPhone was hacked to work with other than
the original cellular provider and the update relocked the iPhone
to that provider. You must contact that provider to see if they
offer unlocking and if you qualify. Only the cellular provider to
which the iPhone is locked can unlock it.
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
Where/how did you acquire this iPhone? Who is your wireless
provider?
Not wise to post your Serial Number in the clear - I have asked
the hosts to remove it. -
Can we import photos from iphone to windows PC when Iphone is locked with passcode?
Hello,
I am using Iphone 5 running IOS 8.1.2.
I recently connected my Iphone to my friends windows laptop to import the photos and videos.
I observed a strange behaviour. I was able to import photos even when my Iphone was locked with passcode.
Can anyone explain me why and when can this happen?
I personally felt, when Iphone is locked with passcode import should not happen.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Best,
KuldeepA small edit to my above question.
For importing photos I right clicked on my iphone in windows explorer and selected "Import photos and videos" contextual command.
I didn't open it to see DCIM folder.
Hope I receive some information on this. -
Hi
Can anyone help with this please.
I bought my iphone 4s outright, brand new, 2 years ago from the Apple Store, not as part of a contract. I've been on a Sim only contract from "3" network from the outset. I now want to change my network provider, but I was informed my phone was locked. I went into the O2 Store to look for a sim only and the lady asked if my iphone was locked. I didn't know so she checked it by putting one of their sims in it and she told me it was indeed, locked.
So I go back to the 3 store and they tell me to ring 3 cust. services to get it unlocked. However, a friend of mine informs me that the phone should not be locked at all and it is Apple's responsibility to unlock it.
Help, I'm very confused.
Thank you.Thanks Tim.
I had no idea at the time that I had to specifically ask for an unlocked phone. I'd not owned any smart phones prior to this.
It begs the question: Why on Earth would anyone sell a "Locked" phone, or indeed, why would anybody buy a locked phone. I should have been told at the time surely, why would I want to limit my choices?
Oh well, looks like a call to 3 then.
Cheers. -
My phone was locked by icloud ID
a seller mobile borrowed my phone and do something for a while, two days later my iphone was locked and i asked him but he don't help me, he is a liar, so what things can i do to prove that phone belongs to me? help me plz.
If a second-hand iOS device has been 'Activation locked' then only the previous owner can unlock it, either by providing you with the account ID and password, or by removing it from his list of devices (as he should have done before selling it) - please see http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4515
If you are unable to contact him to do this then I'm afraid you will not be able to use the device - there is no other way of unlocking it at all. Apple cannot unlock it for you.
You should if possible return it to wherever you bought it and ask for a refund as in this event the device is completely useless. -
My iphone was stolen, I used find my iphone app, and found that it was offline, however when tried locking mode option, I pressed remove device by mistake. Is there any way I can restore the iphone to my icloud/ apple Id again? No manual backup on laptop
The phone will automatically re-appear when it connects to the Internet. However, don't get your hopes up, as thieves know this & will make sure your phone never re-connects so you can locate it.

A month ago my iPhone was stolen, I turned on Activation Lock but it never came out BUT an hour ago somehow my apple ID was changed and someone removed from the account both my iPhone and iPad and the iPad was also remotely wiped. As soon as I saw it I recover the password and return the access to my iPad. But iPhone is not registered for my apple ID any longer. Can Apple help me somehow? I have all the documents and the iPhone box. Will they lock the iPhone and return me access to it. I'm sure it's been attached to another apple ID.
PS. the apple ID I'm using on the discussons is not the hacked one.Try contacting the Apple account security team and ask: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.

Hi, I am new to this forum so please excuse anything I may say that sounds a bit stupid but I am not very technically minded.
I have got an iPhone 3gs ios version 4.1. The phone was locked to Vodafone and I asked them to unlock it which they did. I connected the phone to iTunes and it said congratulations your phone is now unlocked. My new Tesco sim card was accepted and the phone works fine. I have tried to download some apps but they all seem to need a higher version of the ios. iTunes says there is an update for my phone ios version 6. I need to know if I update my phone to this version will my phone still be unlocked and also will the phone continue to work properley. Hope someone can help.
Thanks DaveBHappy to have been of help. Hope all goes smoothly.
BTW, for the sake of others who may help you here, it's usually most polite if you mark the post that answered your question as being the one that "solves" it, not your own post. That's how people get points here, if a questioner marks their post as either "helpful" or "solving". It's not an issue for me, but for those just starting out in the forums it may be important to them. See:

Without that Apple ID, you will not be able to use that iPhone. -
i bought my iphone from jordan and it was locked to orange jordan, now i am living at UAE how can run my phone here ?
Only Orange Jordan can unlock this phone for you, provided that they offer this service. You can't use UAE SIM in this phone or it will get locked.
If Orange Jordan doesn't offer unlocking, then your best shot is to sell your phone in Jordan and buy a new one from UAE. -
