– The 8th attempt for 15 minutes, and the 9th attempt for 1 hour.

– If you exceed 10 attempts without entering the correct passcode to unlock the iPhone, you will receive a message “iPhone is Disabled – Connect to iTunes”.

Additionally, if you set up after 10 failed attempts to enter the wrong passcode to unlock iPhone, all data will be erased.

How to fix a disabled iPhone

1. Restore a disabled iPhone without a computer

One way to unlock a disabled iPhone or iPad without a computer is to use Apple’s “Find My iPhone” service. This service allows you to remotely perform actions on your iOS device. This method only works if your iPhone has the Find my iPhone feature enabled.

Step 1: On another phone, open a browser and go to the website: https://www.icloud.com/.

Step 2: Log in to your iCloud account with your Apple ID and password to start using the Find My iPhone feature.
