Hi, I have disabled my iphone4, originally I just changed my pass code, when I was drunk (and no I did not steal this phone as I have seen in other posts people accusing of this), then the next morning I forgot my pass code, so eventually when it went to 1 hour to try the pass code, I gave up, called my provider (fido) who nicely told me to type in four zeros for the pass code (0000), which they said would bypass my pass code after I did this the stupid phone went into disable mode (emergency numbers only with no opportunity to put a pass code in). So now I am hooped, went back to my provider and they sent me to apple, which apple said only option was to wipe my data, which is not an option as I have allot of sensitive data in it, Mostly the voice recordings is what I need as it is meant for my work.. So I checked out other options on the net. I found one company in the USA that would recover the data for a small fee of omg $1400.00. I don't have that kind of money obviously or I would not be posting. Any suggestions? Even if I can get back to the original menu when you type in the pass-code. Oh yes I have synced the phone to my old laptop which the mother board is gone and therefore I can not re-sync.
Got a tip for us?

Unfortunately the laptop was replaced as under warranty, and I am trying to get a backup from computer trends but they said they might not have original data. So hopefully they do.
What I am really looking for, is there a way to retrieve my voice recordings, either after or before I wipe the phone?
I was told from where I had the original laptop the data is gone on when the phone was synced. Really pisses me off, but not going to solve my issue.
Please Help, thanks

Unfortunately you're kinda stuck, the lock is there to keep your personal stuff private so it's not easy or cheap to circumvent.
