Q: your apple id has been blocked from signing in for 24 hours try signing in again later
My wife changed her passphrase and seems unable to remember it, her work email account forces very frequent changes which doesn't help.
I have used ITunes recovery to reset her phone luckily she has a very resent backup however I am unable to get any device to restore from backups as I get the following message "your apple id has been blocked from signing in for 24 hours try signing in again later".
•I have reset her Appleid password as it forced me to when I logged in.
•added my phone number as a secondary for two factor auth for convenience.
•contact Apple support who was eluding to waiting 24 Hours which is a real pain and not entirely convinced that is what she was saying as I was struggling with her accent some what.
•The error implies this was just a trust thing with this particular device however I get the same result on my old 5S.
At least she is currently able to use it to a very basic degree as a new phone obviously apps and lack of contacts are a pain, I doubt Imessage works either.
Just wondering if anyone else has had any experience or can offer any guidance I can log into the account just not restore from it, A google search returns varying error messages none identical not sure if it is new Post IOS 10.
Appreciate any feedback.
iPhone 6s, iOS 10
