Forgot passcode for iPhone 4S, don't want to update?

So everytime I hook it up to restore it, it says I have to update the software. Is there a way to restore it or over ride the pass code without updating?
I've been trying to update it all day but it gets half way through & the dodgy Internet stops or disconnects itself!
Please help!
Oh and I've only got windows 7 not a Mac

Take is to the nearest service provider,
and the local dealers could solve it in no time!

Only way is to re-install through itunes.updating might not solve problem, so re-install the software.

not possible to restore after update.

  • What to do if i forgot my iphone 4s passcode? So i forgot my passcode, and i don't know what to do. I read that you could plug your phone into itunes and then reset it, but i really don't want to lose all my photos, text messages, contacts, etc. Is there a way to reset my password without losing all my iphone's data? Please answer quickly! Thank you so much! Btw, please don't suggest to go to the apple store/call verizon because i really don't want to do that, thanks.
  • Iphone asking me for a passcode to install update. I never set up a passcode. Options? I just tried to update my iphone to 7.1.1 and i'm being asked for a passcode. I never set one up, but entered what I would have made it, and now have a message saying "FAILED. One more attempt". What happens if I get this final attempt wrong? How do I continue with update if I can't remember this passcode?
  • I want to reset my iPhone, but don't know the restriction passcode? My iPhone was stolen recently, and so my friend gave me their old iPhone. I want to reset it to factory settings to get rid of all their stuff, then sync it to my iTunes to put my stuff on it. However they have a restriction passcode on the reset option, and they can't remember it. How can I reset my phone without knowing the password?
  • I have more than 5GB of iCloud used, and I pay for the 50GB plan, I don't really want to keep paying it. I don't want to lose my pictures th? I have more than 5GB of iCloud used, and I pay for the 50GB plan, I don't really want to keep paying it. I don't want to lose my pictures that I keep on my shared photo stream though. If I stop paying for iCloud will my shared photo stream pics/vids still always be available (forever)? Why do so, w videos and pictures not load on shared photo stream, does apple delete them? Where'd they go? I like google pictures to store my photos, but it's not HD. I have iPhone 6+
