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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
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 locked myself out of my apartment. But it’s 2024, so I have a smart lock I can unlock through an app on my phone. Except I also left my phone inside. The worst part? I had to ask my neighbor to call my mom so she could unlock my apartment from her phone. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

lol@ everybody who took #3 seriously. Anyway, I've done something like that before. I'm terrible at remembering things.

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. :)
