I locked out my iPhone and don't know what to do?
I changed my password on my iPhone 5 and I can't remember it and have completely locked my self out of my phone it says I need to connect to iTunes but when I tried it wouldn't work because it needed a password so I tried to recover it by holding the buttons but that didn't do anything either and I'm still locked out. I have tried all the things it says on the apple website but if i can't do it then i have to get my dad to and he is really angry about it. He said he put a lot of restrictions on resetting it so I don't know if that will affect it.
Try to remmeber it as best you can
DFU mode. While the iPhone is connected and iTunes open, maintain the lock and home buttons pressed until the screen goes black and iTunes says it detected an iPhone in recovery mode. Restore it and you should be done. You will lose everything if it wasn't backed up to iCloud or iTunes.
Warning: if you had Find My iPhone activated you will need to sign in to iCloud after the restore, there's no way to bypass this and if you don't know this Apple ID password or your dad doesn't either, the phone will remain locked and not useable.
If you've forgotten the passcode, your only option is to completely reset the phone.
- People that buy iphones don't know anything about technology did you know that? Like my friend just brought iphone and I asked him if it has 4g late he said what's that? Then I asked how fast is the processor like 1.2 dual people buy them because its more mainstream and because their friends have iPhones Samsung is way better based on specs and technology the iPhone 4s and 4 processors are very slow
- Locked iPhone, don't know the password? I have an iPhone 4s through AT&T and the other day one of my friends decided it would be cool to set a password on my phone and not tell me what it was. It was just meant to be a joke but they don't remember what the password was so now my phone is locked and I can't access anything because I don't know the password. What do I do!

- I locked my iphone and don't know the password So one morning I was getting ready for school and I changed my password and didn't practice it because it was time to go to school.
