Our experts help millions of customers solve their device problems—from fixing FaceTime to troubleshooting why your phone won't connect to Wi-Fi. Here are their tips for how to fix a disabled iPhone.

The seventh incorrect passcode attempt will lock you out for 5 minutes, the eighth for 15, and the tenth for an hour. “iPhone is Disabled; Connect to iTunes"If you enter the wrong passcode more than 10 times, you'll receive a message that says “iPhone is Disabled; Connect to iTunes"—and it will erase all content and data after 10 tries if it's set up to do so. Apple does this as a security measure to protect your data. But they make it relatively easy to reset and unlock your disabled iPhone too. It only takes a few steps.
