I had no idea waiting could be ‘tenacious’.
Sounds like all she did was toss it in a drawer for 10 years, so very tenacious of her.
Yeah, I was expecting it to be something like "0000, no. 0001, no. 0002, no... Holy crap, I got it!"
I did this with a suitcase lock once, luckily only 3 digits. The code was 587. I remembered the code at around 540.
Yeah, four digits probably wouldn't take 10 years. Eight digits, I could see depending on how fast you're allowed to try again. I was just being lazy about typing.
It would if the lockout time got longer with every failed attempt
Exactly what I thought too.
For real. It’s an iPhone 4s, if the wait was really that bad the person could have just gotten a grey market cellebrite ufed and been done with this whole thing. They sell for like $300-$400 on eBay ffs.
