Unlock disabled iphone

[Fattyboiboi]

Hi all, is there anyway I can unlock my disabled iphone without erasing the data in the phone? It's been a long time since I did a backup/sync to my computer hard disk and also to iTunes.

Most answers I see in Google point me to 3 method (thru iTunes, icloud or recovery mode via iTunes). All 3 will erase the phone data and restore back to factory settings.

I think u key in about 10 times then it lock. you can disable this function via settings, at least for iOS 9 and below. Not sure about iOS 10. Need to go home check my iPhone 5s.

Call apple and they can just unlock for me over the phone? Near hear of that. Apple website shows I have to wipe the phone and restore via iTunes.

they'll give you an email to send the proof over or get you to go down to a AASP.

I suspect that u found the found somewhere and someone lock it. Key in password too many times u just need to wait for buffer time to let in again. Unless u set it to wrong 10 times and erase all data.
