Well, you'd need to get your screen replaced first, and then take it to someone who can unlock phones.

I know the password and stuff, it's my old phone. But my computer asks me to put the password in on the phone when I connect it and I was just seeing if there was a way around this, as I can't actually put the password in with how broken the screen is

Looks like I'll just have to get it repaired

The only thing you can do is get it repaired unless you call Apple or something but they will probably say the same thing.

If you don't want to spend the money to get it fixed by someone and you know how to fix it yourself just purchase the parts and work on it yourself.

if you care about the stuff then get it fixed

the only way around this is to simply replace the screen, but i have a feeling its going to be your LCD also.

Okay, I was just in this position about 2 months ago. If your LCD is damaged you can not unlock it period...the phone can not recognize your touch.

IF you want to replace the screen I really suggest you to take it to someone that knows what they are doing unless you have skills taking complex and delicate things apart and putting them back together.

Depending what gen you have I think they are all put together the same.
I had the iphone 5c and for me it was challenging but I was able to fix it.

But if its just the glass then its easy to replace
