No I didn't pay him to do it he was very helpful. What I don't understand is your negative view on this matter as I don't know about I phones and was asking advice/help so my daughter could have her phone working again. Is it to much trouble to ask you what I need know ie iTunes and apple I'd. And where do I get them from please.i just hope you don't get stuck with something and get negative answers.
Here's the reality of this situation bud, you've come to a forum asking how to break password protection on an iPhone...something that we could have easily just approached as you trying to use someone's phone you have no real access to and told you to buzz off, but against the better judgement of the (for the most part) logical minds in our community, help started flowing towards you, showing you PRECISELY how to bypass the password lock. So what do you do immediately afterwards? Instead of restoring the phone so you could get a fresh start on the phone and be able to use it, you go looking at the pictures in the phone (this further makes me curious what your agenda was, as looking at pictures when a phone is locked up and needs to be used is probably the last thing on people's minds when they are trying to figure out how to start using it again).
THEN...you bring it to some "password smasher" (whatever the hell that is), and he tells you "Oh, there's no signal to this phone...". So no signal to a phone that is password locked that you don't have the password for...and you can't restore it back because you don't have the Apple ID for it, and this is really all above your head because you "don't know about the phone" (your words).
We're not miracle workers here man...and what you need is someone who can work miracles. Perhaps trying a religious forum, or something in the magician arena. I'm going to give you a simple way of understanding how you sound to us in this thread...
"Hey guys, I have this phone thingy, and it's locked with a password...I don't have the password and have no idea how to get it, I also have no idea what an Apple ID is, and don't have iTunes...the phone isn't working, the pictures are gone and I really don't know much about phones anyways so I wouldn't even know how to use the information you will provide to me because it's beyond me.
Can someone make my phone work?"
It's not me being negative my friend, it's you assuming we have some kind of magical process for you to override a security feature that is functioning as it should, and then you needing assistance but having no idea how to use such.
What you need to do (which was suggested at the very beginning of the thread) is to find someone who DOES know what they are doing and asking them to help you get it back on it's feet...this is all in the assumption that your attempts are done so in an honest nature, and not to try and use/peek inside of someone's phone you shouldn't have access to.
In the end, just looking at your responses, there's nothing we're going to be able to do to help you because you can't even really help yourself.
