Broken AND locked iPhone screen and and iTunes won't connect without putting in passcode?
So I broke my screen on my iPhone 5 and half of the screen won't work. My passcode can't be put in because, like i said, half the screen is not working. So after trying to put it in and failing, my screen says "iPhone is disabled. Connect to iTunes." But when I connect it to iTunes, iTunes won't connect unless my passcode is put in because my phone is locked. It's contradicting what it's saying and what it wants me to do. What to do or how to fix DIY ATM?
Yes, I know I need to go get it fixed or get a new phone but can't ATM and trying to expand the life just a bit longer until I can get a new phone.
Any help? If so, thanks in advance.
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.
Then simply do a restore in iTunes, this will remove all content unless you made a backup before hand. This is the only way to remove the disable lock.

- Is their other ways of putting music, pictures etc on your Iphone without itunes? I find using itunes a pain in the *** most of the time and too restricted to only using one way. I'd like to find other ways of me putting music and pics on my fone without going through itunes for everything.
- I just got an iPhone 7 and I forgot the passcode so now I can't finish setting up? It can't connect to iTunes and it's not on my iCloud? I feel so dumb for forgetting it, I'm always bad with remembering numbers. Even though I just put it in, I can't remember it. I really don't want to call Apple Support if I don't have to. How could I factory reset it or something? I just got the phone and didn't even finish setting it up yet so there's no data that I'm concerned about. It can't connect to my iTunes or anything like that.
