There are many reasons for a locked iPhone: For example, you may have entered the wrong passcode several times in a row. You can also simply forget your unlock code or have bought a used iPhone whose number combination you do not know. However, if your iPhone is disabled and stuck on the lock screen, there is a simple solution. With the dr.fone – iOS Toolkit from Wondershare you can regain full access to your locked iPhone within a few minutes. In the following guide we will show you how it works.
iPhone locked after unsuccessful unlock attempts
Suppose you can’t remember your iPhone unlock code and you start trying out different number combinations in the hope of landing a hit. After the 6th failed attempt, you will receive the information that your iPhone is deactivated and that you can try again in 1 minute. It’s just stupid that the “time penalty” increases with every further unsuccessful unlocking attempt until the iPhone is permanently locked after the tenth time. The message “iPhone is deactivated, connect to iTunes” then appears on the display. Behind this is a security mechanism built in by Apple, which is supposed to prevent unauthorized third parties from accessing your iPhone. If you get into the uncomfortable situation and don’t know what to do next, you don’t need to panic, because the dr.fone – iOS Toolkit can help.
