How to unlock disabled iphone xs max
iPhone X/XS/XR/11: iPhone is Disabled Connect to iTunes (Forgot Password No Problem!)
0:00 / 0:00
hey what is going on guys so I have a
iphone here says iPhone is disabled
connect to itunes we're going to go
ahead and get this phone back up and
running the reason why you get this
message is because you put in the
password way too many times the wrong
password I mean you did it
or your kid did it now the thing is what
we're gonna do is we're gonna hook this
up to iTunes it doesn't matter if it's
on a MacBook or a regular Windows PC
alright as long as you have iTunes
installed on the computer now this
method is only gonna work for the iPhone
10 10 s 10s Macs and the iPhone 10 R
because it's a different key combination
that you have to do opposed to the prior
iPhone models so what we're going to do
here is a restore in other words we're
doing a factory reset so everything that
is on this phone right now is gonna be
deleted my videos photos everything is
going to be long gone so hopefully you
have a backup now I actually never
backed up this phone but I don't really
have that much important stuff on here
anyways I need to use the phone again
so let's go ahead and get this up and
running remember factory reset or a
restore you're going to lose everything
once everything is complete it's going
to be like a brand new phone where I
just took out of the box and I have to
go through the setup process so what do
you need well you need a phone you need
a computer with iTunes and you need the
charging cable to your iPhone now I'm
gonna show you exactly how all of this
works okay so first thing is go ahead
and plug in your phone and then the USB
port you want to plug it in to your
computer I'm gonna pop it in right now
alright so the next thing that we have
to do is put the phone into DFU mode
okay and how we're going to do that now
it's all plugged into the computer now
we got to do is press three buttons okay
it's going to be the volume up volume
down and then press and hold the power
button until we see the iTunes logo okay
so follow along with me right here ready
volume up volume down press and hold the
power button do not let go the phone is
going to go ahead and reboot and then
we're going to see the Apple logo and
we're still gonna hold on to the power
button I'm not gonna let go until I see
that iTunes logo pop popping up okay
just wait I'm still holding it I'm still
holding it I'm not going to let go
if you let go now is just going to go
ahead and show that disabled screen
again so just keep holding okay now I
can let go now this is what you should
now this is what you should see here
okay well usually something is supposed
to pop up my screen ass until I could do
a restore and update but nothing is
happening here let me just go and open
up iTunes then and see what happens let
me open this up and okay cool all right
so I had to open up iTunes that's weird
I've never had a dinner before usually
with the program closed and once it gets
to the his iTunes logo this message here
will pop up anyways it says here there's
a problem with the iPhone that requires
it to be updated or restored okay so
from here what we want to do is we want
to click on restore and I'll show you my
phone here and it says here are you sure
you want to restore the iPhone called
iPhone to its factory settings you're
basically going to lose all of your data
and it's going to be installed with the
newest version of iPhone software that
will be installed on this iPhone okay so
I'm gonna click right here restore an
update and now this is extracting up
here okay now we just rebooted my phone
here and it says preparing iPhone for
restore
now we get a status bar on my phone here
as you can see okay looks like my
phone's about to reboot I get a new
message here your phone has been
restored to factory settings and it is
restarting okay so it's restarting right
now and now we see another status bar
again
okay now this message here popped up on
my computer here it says activation lock
this iPhone is linked to an Apple ID yes
I did put a Apple ID on this phone here
enter the Apple ID and password click on
continue okay I think that was the
password okay so this new screen here
popped up it says welcome to your new
iPhone do you like to set this phone up
as a new iPhone or restore all of its
contents for my previous backup I don't
have a backup on this phone so I have no
choice but to set it up as a new phone
so let me tap on that right there and
I'm gonna go ahead and click on continue
and it says right here sync with iTunes
I'll go ahead and click on get started
and well Wow okay so I'm right at the
beginning screen right here on my phone
here it says a lot as if I just bought
my phone and took it out of the box and
startled up let me go ahead and go ahead
and unplug it now and now let's go ahead
and get this started and then from here
I have to set it up as a new iPhone so
I'll tap on set up as new iPhone I'll go
ahead and agree to this welcome to
iPhone swipe up to get started and there
