How to wipe iPhone that is disabled connect to itunes?

I connected it to iTunes and it is asking me to unlock phone first. I can't because it is disabled. I need to wipe the phone completely so I can use it. My mom just died and it's her phone. )

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/Recovery mode, simply restore, iTunes will not ask for a passcode as it knows it can't be entered.

Note: This does NOT work with iCloud lock, which is enabled when someone reports the device lost/stolen, nothing can bypass that unless the owner puts in the correct Apple ID and Password.

To do a full reset you'll need to know the Apple ID and password associated with the phone. There's no way around this.

  • My iphone is disabled and it says connect to itunes? My brother took my iphone and put in the wrong pass code multiple times and now its disabled and says connect to iTunes. Well i did. It did nothing. So then I clicked on my device and I clicked 'restore iPhone' but it says it'll delete data? Will this delete all my pictures and music that ISN't backed up? And what can I do if it does delete it? Are there other ways to un disable my iPhone?

Now, i now how to restore it, but he insist that i find a way to save his photos and videos. They are of his daughter, he has no other place where these photos are, so if i restore, there's no way he will ever see those photos. Now, i have already downloaded a program called "Wondershare Dr. Fone" And i think that will help but i just want to make sure.
