    Well using icloud is absolutely useless because how are you able to access a 6 digit code when your phone is locked? At around 6 hours the timer just stopped so i restarted my phone and guess what? Back to eight hours.

      If you don't remember your passcode, you only solution is to reset it with the Erase iPhone button, iCloud, or using a computer.

      @@bytefurtherim aware youʻre trying to help people but you clearly arenʻt paying attention to what people are saying. I mentioned nothing regarding forgetting my passcode. Luckily i fixed my issue. Relying on your dumbass that clearly lacks common sense was a last recourse for my issue.

    I entered my CORRECT passcode and it still locked me out.

      Does it give you the keypad to unlock the phone?
