When I got an IP6 in September I hadn't planned on selling my IP5 so I just reset it (wiped all settings and data) and put it back in the box. Now someone wants to buy it, so I did the AT&T unlock request, got the email from AT&T that the phone is approved for unlock and to wait 24 hours before doing the unlock procedure.

The AT&T instructions say to back up the phone, then do a restore and that will complete the unlocking process. The thing is that since I reset the phone, when I plug it into iTunes I get two options: Restore from last backup -or- Set up as New.

I'm a bit confused about what to do. Anyone know how I should proceed so as to not screw up the unlock process? Do I simply run the last restore I did before resetting it? Or should I set it up as new, do a backup and then do a restore?

Thanks a lot.
