How to fix my disabled iPhone?

My friend put a password on my phone, and after much trial and all error, I disabled my phone. I heard suggestions to connect it to iTunes and back it up/ restore it. When I plug my phone into the computer, it refuses to preform those tasks because the phone is locked. I've connected and played around in iTunes, but my phone is still disabled without offering a keypad to retype a password (that I now know). What do?

These are your options
1.Turn it off and back on
2. Wait for it to run out of battery then leave it a while
3. Hold the on/of button at the top and the circle button at the same time and hold till it turns off and restarts itself (you may have to hold it for about 15 seconds)

Hold the power button and home button for a while until it show a picture to connect to iTunes. When it looks like a USB and an iTunes sighn you can restore it. It puts the iPhone in recovery mode.
