We have already seen how it is possible to solve the iPhone disabled problem using iTunes, practically doing a factory reset with consequent loss of all data on the device. However, below we want to point out other 3 alternative ways to unlock disabled iPhone without using iTunes.
First of all it must be said that the error "iPhone disabled. Please try again in xxxx”Usually appears when you enter the wrong unlock password several times. Once the iPhone enters this "disabled" mode, it becomes impossible to make other attempts to enter the code and you are invited to connect it to iTunes to proceed with the restoration.

Solution # 2: Unlock Disabled iPhone with Find My iPhone
Most people believe that the iPhone disabled problem can only be solved by a restore done with iTunes, but this is not the only solution available. In addition to the Dr.Fone solution described above, another of the most used methods to perform the correction of the problem, without iTunes, is the one that uses the "Find my iPhone”From Apple. In fact, with this tool it is possible remotely locate, lock or reset the device. Here are the steps to follow to unlock a disabled iphone with "Find My iPhone".
1. Log into your iCloud account from a web browser by entering your Apple ID and password. Go to the Find My iPhone section and tap the "Devices" option. A list of all devices linked to your Apple ID will be displayed. Select the iOS device that is disabled.
2. From the screen that opens you will be able to locate the device, play a sound, block it or delete it. To repair the disabled iPhone you will have to choose the function of "Erase" your device. Click on the option Erase device and confirm your choice.
Wait a few moments while the Find My iPhone feature remotely wipes your iOS device. In addition to initializing the iphone, this function will also remove its lock.
Solution # 3: Unlock Disabled iPhone with Siri
Maybe you don't know but it is also possible to fix iPhone disabled issue using Crab. While the solution may only work with devices running on iOS 8.0 and later, this method could be very useful for you. Also using Siri will not wipe your device data and you will be able to unlock the home screen. Here's how to do it.
1. First press and hold the button Home on your device to activate Siri and ask something like "Hey Siri, what time is it?". This will allow you to tap the Clock icon to begin the process
2. Enter the World clock interface and click on the “+” icon to add a new one.
3. You will be asked to write a city. Write one you want and then click on the "Select all" option.
4. At this point other options will appear such as "cut", "copy", etc .. Click on "Share"
5. This will open a new window in which there will be various icons. Click on the icon of Messages to continue
6. Type something in the "To" field and click the Submit button at the bottom right
7. The text in the “To” field will be highlighted in green. Select it and click the + button on the right.
8. A new window will open in which you will have to click on "Create new contact"
9. On the next screen choose to Add a Photo
10. This will open the Photo Library. From here you will be able to access any album
11. Instead of selecting a photo at this point you can exit the interface by clicking on the Home button. You will magically find yourself on the iPhone home screen
This is a workaround that may work well but is not an effective way to permanently fix iPhone disabled issue
Hi, my iphone is disabled due to broken touch screen and unable to insert the correct pin. Can I recover data cn dr fone (I didn't have back up) if so which version to buy? Thanks
Hi, my iphone 6 got disabled after breaking the screen, I have never connected the phone to a pc and therefore never made a backup…. How can I go about recovering all the data inside?
The phone disabled itself when the screen broke, the touch sensor went by itself and I entered the code too many times to unlock it ... If I connect it to the pc itunes nn recognizes it, even with programs like dr. Fone and ifonelab… How can I do?
-
In such conditions, unfortunately, I believe that very little can be done. You can only try to reset but even in this case you must at least have it recognized by itunes or drfone ..
-
I fixed the screen… So If I reset it and buy dr. Fone is there still no way to at least recover the photos?
