My daughter reset her iPhone passcode... Apparently she mistyped it.

Locked out. Tried the code and a few variants of mis-hit numbers. Locked it down for 15 minutes.

Figured I’d ask how to reset it before I lock us out for years.

We’re not necessarily worried about recovering anything from the device, but I would like to know all options.

We know it’s actually your wife’s.

You’re screwed. Need to remove the SIM card and then bring it to your local service provider to unlock it.

Normal cost is about $350

That’s about your only option.

Honestly probably the best for her. Teens don’t need smartphones. Ruins their brains. I bet she’s having withdrawals

Maybe it’s her name spelled backwards

You have options. If it’s backed up to iCloud, even better.

You can reset the phone via iCloud.

If this is your daughter's phone and she is very young then you may want to consider that this story is suspect.

Try D2FU as the passcode.

This is why I don't keep a passcode on my shite. I don't have anything on there of importance, anyway. My email logs out every 48 hours. Screw that passcode crap.
