If not, you are faced with the project of losing all of the data on your phone.

Hopefully, you have been backing it up to iTunes or the Cloud. Your only real recourse in the event that your iPhone becomes disabled is to erase the phone and restore it as best you can. Once you get the “Disabled” message, there’s not much to do except erase your iPhone and restore the data. This security feature that is designed to prevent unauthorized access to your iPhone leaves you with little room for error if you are guessing among various passcodes that you think you might have used. If you enter an incorrect passcode 6 times in a row the phone will disable itself. Whatever the reason, now you can’t open your iPhone. Maybe you shouldn’t have had that last tequila last night because now you can’t remember anything, including the code to access your phone. What can you do if you forget the passcode to your iPhone? Perhaps its an iPhone that has not been used for a period of time and you can’t recall the code.
