Chinese child has blocked his mother's iPhone for 47 years

When a user forgets his password code and starts typing the wrong combination, he has five "hassle-free" attempts. And if you enter the wrong password one more time, the phone will lock for 5 minutes, the next unsuccessful attempt will increase the lock time to 15 minutes, then to 60 minutes, and so on in geometric progression.

The only solution to remove the lock is to restore the device to the factory settings, having lost all data. The moral of the story: always have a backup copy of the data just in case and do not let the children play with your smartphone.
