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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Try 0000, 0001, 0002...

The most common 4-digit PINs are "0000", "9999", "1234", and "2112". (Lots of Rush fans out there, I guess.) I'd try those first.

4256, 5309, 2218. Try those

Try your birth year, or the birth year of someone close to you

Google knows everything o.o

And that is why I love my Android phone. Gmail account login and win! Then you can reset the code. Poor iPeople...

Well OP you are shit out of luck. Just take it the phone store so they can reset it for you.

That reminds me of a movie I once watched: "A Lock to Remember".

Take out the SIM card and let it sit in a bag of uncooked rice for three days. Then, reinsert the card -- it should work perfectly then!

Wait what? The person has trouble unlocking the password, their phone didn't get wet...although that trick does work! :)
perdix 31
Ssssssh, I was thinking that the OP is so dumb, everyone around her would appreciate 72 hours without her inane blathering while she waited for the rice to do its magic. Please write a reply agreeing that ths trick really works to fix lost passwords :)

Thanks for the awesome tip about the rice perdix! I'm writing this comment from my now un-locked phone! I'll be sure to remember the rice trick because I always make up super hard to remember passwords. Do you think it'll work on my laptop too?
perdix 31
#38, totally! That trick will work on forgetful friends and relatives, too! Suppose one of them forgets your birthday or to invite you to a great party, lock them in a giant container of uncooked rice for three days and they'll never forget again!!!

Thank you Perdix! I thought my phone was a goner!

Perdix, i might need you to come save me. I did what you said to my sister and she suffocated. I need you to testify in court for me

One one one, one one one one, Louis? Dam, one one one, one one one two, Louis? Dam, one one one, one one one three....... I just remembered that scene when I read this FML!

Hate when that happens

Wow dumbest FML I ever read.

have someone call the phone, and while the call is active, go to the home screen, get into settings, and you should be able to take care of the password situation.
peachesncreem 21
You usually need to know the old password before being able to change it to a new one. That's the experience I've always had with phones/laptops/email etc
Lindz408 4
I've done it that way, although it may have been through a jailbreak tweak, which would work differently.

Could it work if the phone is set to never auto locking then backing up, factory reset and finally restoring the old photos and stuff?
