"My iPhone 7 is disabled. How should I undisabled an iPhone 7?"
If you have the same question to ask, it's highly likely that you have tried to unlock your iPhone with the wrong passcodes more than five times.
When you unlock an iPhone with the wrong passcode over five times in a row, you will trigger a self-protection measure on the iPhone that says "iPhone is disabled, try again in XX minutes" or "iPhone is disabled connect to iTunes."
That depends on the notification you see. If your iPhone 7 gives you chance to try again later, you can still get into your iPhone properly without data loss, as long as you can recall the correct passcode. While if your iPhone tells you to connect your disabled iPhone to iTunes, you can only solve the problem by resetting the disabled iPhone.
If it's impossible for you to recall the passcode of the iPhone 7 and you want to use the device, you have to erase the device, including the lock screen passcode, to make it usable again.
To reset a disabled iPhone 7, you can either use iTunes or a third-party iPhone unlocking tool to get things done.
Notes: If you forgot your iPhone 7 passcode and it is disabled, it's inevitable that you will lose all data on the device if you try to unlock the disabled iPhone 7 without a password.
