What plan are you with? I am with optus and when I was younger I was CONSTINTALY disableing it, all you need to do is contact your service provider and they can either reset it (they have to ask you quite a few questions to prove that you are the owner) but that will just do it (hopefully!!)

There is indeed the chance that if you enter a wrong password for more than 6 times or so, the device will tell you that your " iPhone is disabled"! But don't worry, some efficient ways can help you to solve this question! There is an article which gives you a detailed solution to solve iPhone password forgotten problem. Hope this helps! Good luck!

SOURCE: i forgot my apple iphone

Try the Restore procedure from iTunes If you have problems. But first try the recovery procedure.
1.
Disconnect your iPhone cable but leave connected the other USB end to the computer.
2.
Turn off your iPhone holding the Sleep/Wake button. The red slider bar appears. Slide the bar and wait until the iPhone turns off. Or you could hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time until the iPhone turns off.
3.
While pressing and holding the Home button connect the USB cable to your iPhone. It should power on. Hold the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" message. Open iTunes if necessary. You should see the "iTunes detected an iPhone in recovery mode..." alert screen.


Choose " Restore"

SOURCE: Iphone disabled, can't connect to itunes

You will need to do a reset. Hold the middle button(home key) while you plug it into the compter. Keep holding it until iTunes displays it found a phone in "recovery mode". You should then be able to do a restore.

SOURCE: iphone disabled. How to restore?

To restore it, just enter dfu mode. Open itunes and connect phone. while phone is on, hold down home button and then press and hold power button, ignoring the "slide to turn off" til shuts down. Somewhere along lines fo 2-4 seconds after off, release power and hold home. Total hold time of both buttons should be around 10 seconds. Should release power before apple icon appears. itunes should detect recovery mode device and assist you the rest of the way.
