Do you still have the Itune account for the phone? Plug it into a computer, fire up Itunes and connect.

Attached is another method for a later phone, it should work for yours but you will lose all the data

A hammer and a pick. Maybe go to a store that fixes them she wan they say, or look online lol

Talk to your service provider.

Put your iPhone in DFU mode and restore it in iTunes. This of course will erase everything off the phone that wasn't backed up previously.

Oh c'mon, it's only 11 more years, wait it out.

Kidding aside, if you're really interested in getting in and you don't care about the data, DFU is the way to go. If you want to preserve it for reasons, take it to an apple store, they may be able to bypass it. It's SO old they may not have software to support it anymore.

  • My iPhone (3GS) randomly started playing a song and turning voice control on today? Today, when I was in second period at school, my iPhone randomly started playing a song from my library. In third period, while doing an assessment, voice control turned on. At lunch, I turned my phone off and took it out of my back and put it in my inside blazer pocket. It might be a new bag I started using today that caused the problem. I really want to know how to stop this so I can stop worrying. (;
  • IPhone is disabled try again in 22 million minutes? When you get too many wrong pass code attempts on an iPhone it says "iPhone is disabled try again in 22 million minutes" if someone wait the 22 million min. (like 40 years) what would happen, what would come next?
