How do I unlock my p hone?
Hello Lois
How are you doing? May I ask if you tried calling your own number?
No
What do you see on your iphone screen?
I called my number and the phone rang, but it went right back to asking for a Passcode.
Enter Passcode
can you try to turn off your iphone and turn it on after a minute
Yes, I will try
I'll be standing by Lois
Thank you
It says I Phone is disabled, try again in 5 minutes
Ok Lois... Can you turn it off again and turn it on after 5 minutes. Do you have a computer near you? We may need to perform remote support session for this issue is it's still disabled
May I ask the exact model of your iphone?
yes
What's the exact model of your iphone Lois?
Did you ever use a passcode when unlocking your phone Lois?
No
Alrighty then... let's just wait after 5 minutes
OK it is up, but still showing Enter Passcode
May I ask the exact model of your iphone? ex. iphone 5, 6, etc...
Model A1549
Thank you for that information. What is the exact error message that appears on your screen Lois?
Enter Passcode Touch ID requires your passcode when iPhone restarts
It has spaces for 6 numbers. I never entered a Passcode
It is my IPhone that I am having trouble with, not my computer. Why do you need to connect to my computer?
We may need to restore your iphone via itunes through your computer Lois. May I ask if you know your apple id and password?
Apple ID: ***-***-**** 12051
do you remember the email you used setting up your apple account? Usually the apple id is your email and secured by a password
Yes, but there was no Password sent to the email address.
Is there a Supervisor there that can help you? It does not take this long to tell me how to unlock my IPhone!
If you don't remember your apple id... you will know it near the restoration process,
May I call you on your phone Lois?
I never entered an Apple ID
Yes call me
Please wait

I asked him from the beginning if he would not erase my data, i.e. phone numbers, etc. He said he would be able to keep 90% of them. I checked my phone after he finished helping me and found that everything was erased. I could have cleared my phone and rebooted it if I wanted to erase everything. I am very unhappy.
Notes
- Called Lois and explained that she can retrieve any information now if the passcode issue resurface because the apple account is set up properly.
