My hubby's iPhone 5 died. If I can't restart it, how can I wipe it before I recycle it?
Thanks

One way would be to contact Apple Support. You will need to know your Apple ID and password for them to help you. Another option is if you have "Find my iPhone" enabled on the phone, you might be able to erase it by logging into icloud.com.
