How to unlock my locked Iphone 3gs?

My phone had the auto lock feature and it locked. I forgot the password and entered it too many times. It now says in red "Connect to Itunes" to unlock. Yet when i connect it to Itunes, it syas it can't access the phone because it has a lock code. Can anyone help me with this?

You'll have to call your cell phone provider to have them reset it

If you forgot your iPhone passcode you can bypass the lock screen completely and reset the passcode by using iPhone recovery mode.

Warning: This will require you to restore your iPhone or iPod touch, this means you'll lose all data on the device and be back to factory settings.

Bypass & Reset the iPhone Passcode

1-)Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, leave the other end connected to your Mac/PC
2-Launch iTunes
3-)Press and hold the Home and Power button on the top of the iPhone to turn off the device
4-)Press and continue to hold the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to your iPhone, this will cause the iPhone to turn on
5-)Continue to hold the Home button until an alert message in iTunes appears that an iPhone in recovery mode has been detected

  • Why does my unlocked iPhone 3GS stay locked? I jailbroke it with redsnow, unlocked it with Ultrasnow a million times over and it remains locked. Using baseband version 05.13.04 with 5.1.1 iOS. Calls and text work fine, but no data, no matter what. Use Wi-Fi in my house, but that's all i can use. I've spent a week doing this over and over and nothing seems to work. Tried dozens of videos online, countless blogs and i followed every, single step x amount of times. Using straight talk right now, should I try T-mobile maybe?
  • My iPhone 3GS is locked to Telenor Sweden, how to unlock it? How can I unlock my iPhone 3GS which is locked to Telenor Sweden? How I know it is locked: I bought it from a person who had jailbroken it. It was ready for use with all SIM cards. But then, when I tried to update from iTunes, it restored the previous software and wanted to activate the phone. When I clicked Connect to iTunes, it showed me THERE's NO SIM INSTALLED… So that's how I know my iPhone is locked. Where can I pay for my phone to be unlocked?
