Geek: Today, I was playing with my phone and turned it on lock mode....

Today, I was playing with my phone and turned it on lock mode. I changed my lock code a few months ago, so that no one would be able to guess it. Turns out I can't guess it either. FML

Today, I was trying to change my PIN code in order to make my phone more secure and prevent people from getting information from it. Instead, I somehow ended up locking my phone permanently. FML

Today, I remember that I changed my phone lock password when I was still half asleep this morning, but I don't remember what I changed it to. FML

Wicked game

Today, I finally password-protected my phone, to protect it from my friends' favorite game: stealing it and sending stupid texts, and hijacking my Facebook. They quickly found a new game. My phone is now locked for 24 hours due to too many attempts to guess the password. FML

Today, I realized that the random string of numbers I deleted in my phone notes a few months ago was actually the pin code to my new bank account. FML

Today, I took a picture of the combination to my new lock so I would always have it on my phone if I ever forgot it. I put my phone in my gym locker, locked it with the new lock, then promptly forgot the combination. FML

Today, I woke up to a brand new password on my phone that only my wife knows. Apparently, she thinks I've been looking at my phone more than I've been talking to her lately. FML

Today, my phone reset, wiping the touch ID on my credit card. I can't remember the password so I'm locked out. I tried "Forgot password", but you need to have the physical card. The card is tucked away in the bank lock box. The key to the lock box is packed in one of the 150 boxes we have prepped to move. FML

Today, I tried to unlock my house's front door by hitting the unlock button on my car keys. It took me some time to realize my mistake. FML

Today, after having not used my laptop since January because I thought it was broken, I found out that the key lock has been on the whole time. FML

Today, I installed an alarm app on my phone. Turns out, to unlock the phone and get the ringing to stop, I have to answer a maths question. It took me ten minutes to get it right. FML

that happened to me once. i think if you go on their website and login to your account, they'll send it to you by e-mail. i think that's how i figured it out...

At least you didn't fry your SIM card and had to pay $50 trying to change a lock code in a phone that wasn't even locked. =) Yes I know I was an idiot & so are you poster.

HAHA my friend did that once...but eventually he figured it out...hopefully you will too...or you could maybe try resetting your phone? Or taking it to the company... Best of luck. And #3 that's not funny...you have no idea how much trouble those people are causing right now.

That happened to me once, and the phone had 9999 possible combinations! I went to a random number generator online which give me each possible number and I decided to try them in the order the website gave me. Thankfully, it only took a few minutes this way and it would have taken much longer without it (the number was something like 8192 which is way up there)

Lol, I write mine down or make sure I'll always remember it. I remember I once locked my locker before spring break, and it was random, and I forgot. :O It was a new one too, and they had to cut it off. *cries* My mom got really mad at me. Anyways, that sucks. Yeah, the company should reset it for you. :)
