Now I have to change my password.

There you are, Jenny! It's not a great password if it's on every bathroom wall in America.

Oh your oh so cool

Why have a lock password? I don't wanna be locked out of my phone

So no one can check your browser history 75

55- Uh... His what is "Oh so cool"?

This is why it's best to have passcodes that are simple, but not obvious. Such as a pattern.

I always write mine down everytime I change it just in case I forget.

My dad is one of those assholes...

I hate when people do that! Some dumb-asses...

He has to be able to go to the menu first for a factory reset and anyways he'll need the password to

Assuming it's an iPhone then they can do it through iTunes.

47 - #4 is actually correct. You can put the phone in recovery mode and reset it without the use of the pass code. Don't slander people's advice if you don't know much about the way iOS devices work.

Thank you 72 and 82. I don't why other people aren't aware of that option.

Noo he wont @ #47

If its jail broken (and an iOS) then he cold use clever pin .

He has to put it into DFU mode (Device Firmware Update mode). Nowadays Apple makes the iPhone or iTouch useless without the passcode. Sorry OP

Where did it ever say that it was actually an iPhone? OP could've had a Blackberry or a HTC for all we know.

People tend to read things that aren't really there.

125 is right sorry. A lot of people have iPhones so I just figured...whatever.

Strange how this has nothing to do with the FML. Except for the mentioning of a phone. I'll give you that.

Thread jack!

He probably didn't reason it out.. He was half asleep.

I think it's a she btw :P

Yeah, never do anything while half asleep, I found that out when I woke up with my milk truck bit open by shark here :(

FMLshark, your picture scares me. O.O

Doing something half asleep is almost as bad as doing something drunk.

I find that going back to sleep when I'm half-asleep is a good idea.

Except sex. Sex is good all the time.

It's said that staying awake for 17+ hours has the same effect of 2 glasses of wine on the brain ^_^

Why did you put " *I* " ?

Password on the screensaver... BRILLIANT!

To emphasize the "I"...

Once when going on vacation I changed my password on my desktop, when I got back a month later I had no idea what it was. Had to do a reset and lost 5 years worth of pics and other files. It sucked

You are an idiot... Why not make it something easy to remember?

SloppyFlamingo -- LO388 got it right: emphasis. :) aerrol -- lol ikr? This was like 10 years ago when I was a kid, and I thought it was a good idea! :P lol DevilBoi69x -- Dang, that really stinks. :( It'd be really upsetting to lose everything from the past 5 years! (That's an understatement!) It's never happened to me, but it's happened to someone I'm close to -- really sucks. Bazinga2010 -- thanks for the completely wonderful insult directed at something I did when I was like 13 years old!! Does it make you feel better about yourself when you insult someone else? (I also already answered your question before you asked it when I said I wanted to make a password that no one could guess, so I made it so hard that I couldn't even guess it! lol <-- that was supposed to be lighthearted, but apparently for you, it was grounds for an insult. Thanks for your negativity! *sarcasm* )

Forgot your password? Recover your files (after OS re-install, etc.) from its weekly backup.... Oh, you forgot to create the (weekly) backup? YDI :-)

I do not understand why not just turn the phone off. then back on. the lock (at least on my phone) is not used the second you turn it on.

^ For an iPhone and the majority of touch-screen smart phones, I think it -is-. ....... (It depends on your settings, though.)
