The only way to reset an iPhone to factory settings is by accessing the Settings. If you are the owner of this device, you may reset to factory settings on iTunes.
If you do not own this device, iTunes will communicate with the iPhone until the passcode is entered.
This is a security feature implemented by Apple recently.
IPhone reset:
Settings > General > Reset (at bottom of screen).
You are trying to do a DFU restore, try connecting the phone to your PC, start iTunes, turn on the phone press and hold the home and power button until the phone goes blank, then release the power button ( the one on top of the phone), keep holding the home button until you get a notification on iTunes.
- Will the MAC address of my iPhone reset if I reset my iPhone to its factory settings over iTunes? I have jailbroken my device and used terminal to change my MAC address so that I could connect to school's Wi-Fi. But when I wanted to change it to its initial number, I typed in a wrong value and it just messed up my Wi-Fi, I can't connect to Wi-Fi anymore. Wonder if resetting to factory settings would help…

- What will happen if I reset my iPhone to factory settings? And how do I do it? I just got iOS7 but I have to say, I'm very disappointed with the outcome.

How do I go back?
- What settings will it change if I press reset all settings on my iPhone? Also, will this help speed up my iPhone because that's what I've heard.
