Part 1. Why does iPhone Get Disabled?

The reason for iPhone becoming disabled is when the wrong passcode has been entered a lot of times. Entering the wrong passcode could be a result of you forgetting your passcode or unintentionally operated your iPhone in your pocket. It could also be done by someone else for a reason they only would know. Irrespective of the reason, once the passcode is entered wrongly on the device 10 times consecutively, then the in-built powerful security system of the iPhone will kick in and the message "iPhone is disabled connect to iTunes" will be displayed on the screen of your iPhone.
