If you had attempted unlocking multiple times with incorrect Lock Screen passcode, or if a message says that your device is disabled, learn what you need, what you get and what is lost.


You need a computer to follow these steps. If you don't have a computer, borrow one from a friend.

If you're looking to delete your iPhone before selling it or giving it away, you might want to follow these steps: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201351


Don't forget to sign out of iCloud, iTunes and the App Store before erasing it☝🏻Otherwise your iPhone will still be linked to your Apple ID. Hope this helps!
