Marc Wielage Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Just updated mine and had no problem. You may have to take it back to the Apple Store and have them look at it. Otherwise, do a full wipe and restore and it may go back to normal. I've always, always had a passcode but I made it one that I could type very quickly. You figure with just 4 numeric characters, there aren't that many combinations, so eventually somebody could figure it out. (Though I'm told it'll lock out permanently after 3 or 4 tries.)

JackHenry Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Is there a newer update than 8.3?? I see nothing about a newer version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngooch Posted May 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Recovered the bulk of the data- luckily not a too ancient backup was available. But- the phone locked itself. Not sure how it happened. The user never once used that feature. But recovery easily done because of two things. iCloud was used as backup and "find my iphone" was activated. So even if you do not use the lock- create a passcode incase the phone decides to turn it on. At least you'll know what the passcode is.
