In short is there anyway to hack the passlock without trying EVERY possible combinations?
Turn off the phone completly...wait 5 sec...1) press the home botton(the main botton at the bottom of the iPhone) 2) While your finger is still pressed on the home botton, connect the UsB to the iPhone (other end should be connected to the PC). Now a message should pop up say sumthing like "iPhone in recovery mode". Now download the firmwire. (i recomend 3.1.2).
To download firmwire go to
You must login or register to view this content.
Once fw(firmwire) is downloaded, ON PC press Shift+'Restore'
(on iTunes) and on Mac press 'option'+'restore'
Now select the firmwire which you downloaded
And now you should have a iPhone which has no passcode but is still unActivated.
To activate: for example Youtube: How to activate iPhone 3G fw 3.1.2.
Replace the kind of iPhone you have and the fw you have.
LOL this might be confusing but i hope this helped
