IPhone is disabled

[NoTimeToWaitAr]

Hi everyone, my iPhone was disabled due to multiple login attempt. Is there any way to unlock the phone without wiping the data?

Thanks in advance.

Key in the correct password. If you are the legitimate owner, you should know the password

The problem is my phone is disabled. Ive searched online and the only way is to factory reset it. But I need all my photos in the photo.

If never back up, too bad. Just treat it as lesson learned

There are several situations where the iPhone is disabled. More here. Provided you ultimately know the passcode.

Previously, my kids like to take my phone and play. Problem is they don't know my pin code and anyhow press. At first disable for 5 mins, the longest duration is 1 hr. Didn't get to the point where there is no countdown timer to reset the disabling of the phone.
How many time u key wrongly the pin?

connect to itunes to unlock it?

 

[nicepal]

connect to iTunes can try. But if key in wrong a lot a lot of time till it prompts you to unlock or use itunes to unlock, you may need to re-format too.

a spare phone we pass to my daughter to use, after keeping her from using for more than 6 months. after that she forgotten the password ..... end up i also tried all method, connect to iTunes. iTunes prompt me to re-format the phone.

If you know the password then, you will just have to wait if it is under a timer.

There is No way around if it is completely disabled (Without timer), this means a minimum of 10 attempted unlocks with 6 different incorrect password. A security feature to prevent brute-forcing password for data extraction. Any solution is only via a Wipe. Not even Apple has a way to unlock it.

Without a backup, this means you lost everything.

Still, I find it VERY VERY odd this went unnoticed cause of the sheer duration of waiting is SO LONG and not even a single moment you have unlocked it proper yourself O.O

6 incorrect guesses = iPhone is disabled for 1 minute
7 incorrect guesses = iPhone is disabled for another 5 minutes (6 Min)
8 incorrect guesses = iPhone is disabled for another 15 minutes (21 Min)
9 incorrect guesses = iPhone is disabled for another 60 minutes (1Hour 21 Min)
10 incorrect guesses = iPhone is disabled. Connect to iTunes (GG)

FaceID or fingerprint shouldn't issue.

But anyhow unlock password is the most important.

If you can't remember please don't lock it forever

" But it did happen on that poor guy and he at last went to the Apple Store and got the iOS system reinstalled. And it turns out that the problem is caused by jail-breaking and changing of iOS system."

Yup still somehow OP had let his kid go on an unlocking spree for so many times and even with a HUGE gap between attempts
