How to restore my iphone lock?

If you can't get into your phone to restore then you will need to enter DFU mode:

- Plug your device into your computer with a USB cable.
- Turn off the device.
- Hold the Power button for 3 seconds.
- Hold the Home and Power buttons for 10 seconds.
- Release the Power button but keep holding the Home button.
- After about 15 seconds you will be alerted by iTunes saying that it has detected a device in Recovery Mode.
- Once in DFU mode simply press restore on iTunes. This will ignore the lock.

This will NOT work if the phone is iCloud locked which would mean the device has been reported lost/stolen. If you have an iCloud lock then you're out of luck. It can't be bypassed as it is an anti-theft feature.
