in a recent iOS update a character that was part of my daughters password no longer contained this special character on the keyboard. My daughter thought she had forgotten her password and entered her password multiple times resulting in the iPad being locked. Unfortunately, she hasn’t backed up her iPad so restoring the iPad is not an option. Is there a way of accessing the data on the iPad?
