My iphone 5 is disabled and i don't know the code to unlock it?

My dad bought me an iphone 5 from his friend, but his friend doesn't know the code to unlock it, nor does he know the itunes account to restore it. I typed in multiple passwords like an idiot to try an unlock it but now it's disable, and it says to connect it to itunes. Please tell me how to get it unlocked!

Get your money back.

Your dad's friend might not have owned the phone previously.

You will need the password to unlock the phone. If not it will just be a brick.

There MIGHT be a chance you could plug it into iTunes and try to restore it as a new phone IF AND ONLY IF it's not iOS7. If it is, then you're out of luck.

This will help you fix your problem!

Look up DFU mode for iPhone! Once in DFU you should be able to restore it.

The phone will have to be run in recovery mode: http://support.apple.com/.../kb/HT1808. You MUST use the latest version on iTunes ON A COMPUTER. You have to use a computer with iTunes.

This will wipe the phone. Now if it asks for his Apple ID password he will have to put that in to get past the security settings. If he doesn't know it he will have to try and recover or change it on his apple account by going to applied.apple.com and resetting his password. If he can't reset his password you will have to call Apple. Apple can't change or remove those codes or un disable a phone. The most they can do is have you run recovery mode and get the password reset if he can't do it himself.

  • Unlock iPhone 4 difficulty getting an unlock code? I need to get my iPhone unlocked to use with an Australian sim card. I have called Vodafone in Ireland to get this done but they have just tried to call me back and i do not have enough credit on my Irish number to receive the call as i'm in Australia at the moment. I can't perform the unlock procedure through Vodafone online either.

  • I recently changed my iPhone 5 DNS code. How do I get my original DNS code back? So, I changed my iPhone 5 DNS code to this code here 190.14.36.90 in order to get the American version of Netflix. I want to change it back because my favourite apps such as twitter aren't working anymore but I do not know my original DNS code to change it back. Is there a mutual DNS code for all Irish iPhone 5's? Or did I have a specific code? Is there anyway of getting my code back? If so, how?
