The person disable: There are two types of person interaction that can disable the iPhone, intentional passcode entry of someone trying to guess your passcode and then disabling it as they fail – usually a fairly obvious scenario. This happens surprisingly often if you keep an iPhone in a busy pocket or put your hands in your pockets often.
I’ve had this happen to myself while twirling an iPhone in a pocket out of boredom, and I recently watched a friend accidentally disable their iPhone while searching the same iPhone-holding pocket for money to pay at a food cart. Because the iPhone screens slide to unlock feature can be swiped from anywhere on the screen, it’s fairly common to accidentally activate that screen, then enter into the passcode entry screen while the iPhone is a pocket with a hand or two, and perhaps unbeknownst to you, enter a passcode a few times to accidentally trigger the lockout. The pocket disable: Inadvertently disabling an iPhone in a pocket is surprisingly common! This typically happens to iPhone users who keep their iPhones in a pocket that they also use for their hands, often hip jacket pockets, the hoodie pouch pocket, or front pants pockets for example. How does this happen? The two most common reasons for an iPhone to seemingly lock itself out are pockets and people. In some situations, you didn’t actually try to unlock an iPhone and you didn’t (intentionally) enter a wrong passcode, but the iPhone says it is disabled anyway. But I didn’t try to unlock my iPhone, so why does it say it is disabled?

Let’s further understand this issue to avoid it in the future, and going further we’ll show you how to get around the disabled message. Waiting a minute isn’t too bad, but waiting many minutes to an hour is inconvenient, as is connecting to iTunes to enable the iPhone again. 10 incorrect passcode entries – iPhone is disabled, connect to iTunes (or the iPhone wipes itself of all data if self-destruct mode is turned on).9 incorrect entries in a row – iPhone is disabled, try again in 60 minutes.8 incorrect entries in a row – iPhone is disabled, try again in 15 minutes.7 incorrect entries in a row – iPhone is disabled, try again in 5 minutes.5 incorrect passcode entries in a row – iPhone is disabled, try again in 1 minute.
You may find it interesting to know how many incorrect passcode entries are required to disable the iPhone for a particular amount of time and to get the accompanying message, that information is as follows: In the future, just enter the proper passcode in the first place and you’ll avoid this message and the lock out period. The obvious solution in this case is to wait for the minute (or several) to pass and then enter the correct passcode to unlock the iPhone and get around the disabled message. After the iPhone passcode has been incorrectly entered five times in a row, the iPhone will automatically disable itself for 1 minute, giving the “iPhone is disabled” error message on screen. A locked iPhone requires a passcode or Touch ID to enter and access the device as a security precaution.
