When I turn on the phone it say iPhone is Disabled - connect to iTunes, but as I said, iTunes won't connect to it unless the passcode is entered, and that's why it's disabled in the first place.
Any suggestions? I would like to do the right thing and return it, but if I can't I would like to make use of it somehow, it just does not feel right to throw it away.
Might sound stupid but look at the contact list and see if you can find a contact called ''home'' or ''mom'' or ''work'' etc....
Thats how I traced the owner of the last phone I found....
