Happy/Sad Ending - Lost & Found

[Jman888]

i just managed to charge the 5c up and it says that phone is disabled and i have to wait 44 years to retry my passcode !!! apparently people have been trying to unlock my 5c.

 

i have googled about this and its a security feature ... but the bad thing is i never backed up the 5c before and if i follow the instructions on the web to unlock my phone, my 5c will be erased and returned to factory mode !!

 

do you think the people at apple can help me to restore my phone without deleting the data inside ?

I doubt so, even US President also can't order them to unlock a terrorist's iPhone

the web is really confusing and sometimes misleading ... after thinking logically for a while, a simple fix did it ! now my 5c is back to what it was and the battery is still working ... 

 

and oh ... i forgot to mention ... my wife dropped her phone on the train in March 2016.
