Title: Apple iPhone password rage
Post by: Nick on August 29, 2017, 09:05:00 AM
Have to use a password to download apps and suchlike.
Made one up months ago and promptly forgot it.

Now I need to use it again.

There seems to be now way of recovering or changing the password without resetting the sodding phone to factory settings, wiping everything and starting again  cussing: cussing: cussing: cussing:

Take it to an Iphone store, it will be expensive and the spotty yoofs in there will probably laugh at your predicament (although you should be used to that happening by now) but you should be able to use the phone again.  whistle:

By the way, a number of Android phones come with this quaint little thing called fingerprint recognition....  whistle:

The best of it is, the moment Nick has paid to be able to access his phone again he will remember the password...  whistle:

Quote from: IPhone
I have a confession to make. Nick got the password correct the first time, it's just been too much fun watching him come unglued because he 'can't' remember it.

I always knew that Apple kit was evil...  rubschin:
