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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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, 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 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 was logging into my work computer. My account became locked due to the many failed attempts at typing my password. Thinking I was alone, I said, “Fuck this shit” while dragging the keyboard off my desk. Turns out my supervisor was in the other room. I'd forgotten I'd changed my password the other day. FML
Today, I had a violent sneezing attack while changing my phone's password and now I have no idea what it could be. FML
Today, my girlfriend yelled at me for changing my phone's password, like I thought she would try to access my phone without telling me. When I pointed out she could only know I changed it by trying to unlock it behind my back, she took the sandwich I'd just made and fed it to the dog. FML
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, my cell phone broke. It wouldn't even turn on. I went online to access my account so that I could order a new phone. I couldn't remember my password. The phone company had an option of "forgot my password". Upon clicking I get a message saying "Your password will be sent to your phone". 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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

55- Uh... His what is "Oh so cool"?
nado13579 12
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.

That sucks. Can you do a factory reset? You'll lose all your stuff but it doesn't sound like you have a choice.

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.
zinoxity 23
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.
HairyPunisher 27
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 .
eliza1000 9
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
MyChemicalSmosh 4
Where did it ever say that it was actually an iPhone? OP could've had a Blackberry or a HTC for all we know.
what_ever2007 11
People tend to read things that aren't really there.
eliza1000 9
125 is right sorry. A lot of people have iPhones so I just figured...whatever.

Once, I've got this tweak for my iPhone that requires me to solve math when the alarm goes off... I nearly threw my iPhone out of the window.

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

Thread jack!
DomDomxoxo 16
Sorry OP, but why would you do that half-asleep?
zachherbert 10
He probably didn't reason it out.. He was half asleep.
ant1ion 12
I think it's a she btw :P
FMLshark 12
Doing anything while you're half asleep is never a good idea. Ever.
TheEpicMilkMan 13
Yeah, never do anything while half asleep, I found that out when I woke up with my milk truck bit open by shark here :(
gracehi 33
FMLshark, your picture scares me. O.O
SqueakyChipmunk 22
Doing something half asleep is almost as bad as doing something drunk.
Sielune 8
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 ^_^
what_ever2007 11
Aww, *sympathy*, that happened to me once with an entire computer!! I put a password on the SCREEN SAVER! I can be really bad about wanting to make a password so good that no one can guess it.......then I find out that *I* can't guess it either!!
SloppyFlamingo 4
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
Bazinga2010 5
You are an idiot... Why not make it something easy to remember?
what_ever2007 11
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 :-)
MTaco 6
Just don't be one of those people who keep putting random numbers in and locks your phone for hours.
chrystalthequeen 8
That happened to my friend, she did it twice in a row and we had to reset her phone both times... Smart people
asl_for_life 6
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.)
