Troubleshooting a Locked iPhone:

Your iPhone is locked. So, get this serviced.


Avoiding Being Locked Out:

You need to wait it out. How long is "for days"?

If it reads "8 hours", and has shown this "for days", then try Force Restarting your iPhone, seeing if it lets you reset it.


If you attempt this incorrectly too many times, then you may be locked out for good. Do, just let the phone site aside, and do not touch it for a more days.
