Getting an "iPhone Unavailable" message on your lockscreen is never a welcome sight. The issue is a common one, caused by entering an incorrect passcode too many times. It's a system meant as a safeguard against unwanted access, but it can just as easily be triggered by unintentional pocket presses or plain old forgetfulness. Thankfully, there are several ways to get access to your iPhone again, though some are a bit more labor-intensive, depending on the circumstances of your lockout.
