Greetings to all readers of the computer blog site! The other day, a friend of mine approached me with a request to unlock his iPhone 5s. According to him, while he was drunk, he set a password on his phone (from his girlfriend), but in the morning he could not remember it. After several unsuccessful attempts to enter the password, the iPhone was automatically locked.
When turned on, the message “ iPhone disabled! Connect to iTunes." When connecting to a computer, the problem was not solved - a password was still required.
In this article I will tell you how to unlock any Apple device— iPhone 4, 4s, 5s, 5, 6, 6s, 7, iPad, etc. We will remove the lock by flashing the firmware, i.e. Completely reset the phone to its factory state. Flashing an iPhone is a seemingly complicated procedure, but in reality it’s quite simple, so don’t rush to take your phone to a service center, but first try to do everything yourself.

I unlocked iPhone 5, model a1429, but The firmware method is universal, and will work for all Apple devices − iPhone 4,5,6,7, and iPad.

Vain attempts to remember, unsuccessful entries of the wrong code, eventually block the phone, and then you have to look for ways to reset the password yourself, or take it to specialists.

You can, of course, increase the number of attempts.
