Wow, what an incredibly poor flaw update Apple 🍎sauce. My own passcode will not unlock my completely otherwise fine iPad-mini (5th gen) tablet. It also does not allow the optional fingerprint id which I use for quicker access always. So you tell me own only option is to do a complete system erase. This is going to cost me quite a bearing of time to replace some of my tablets contents.
Yes, I understand the ideal that if your digital information is that important then you should take precautions. In fact I have a very pricey iCloud storage volume of 4 TB to do so. But there are certain apps I use where it’s not easy to place it within the Cloud regueruly
I just want to mention for other ipad folks here seeking an “alternate fix” to avoid a complete & devastating erase of non-cloud data..do this: Let your tablet unit simply run its battery down to dead discharge zero (no-no charging anymore). After that and it’s dead to any power-on attempt, plug it in with your best charging unit and cord..but only put in a about 1% to 2% power battery percent range (the lesser the better, but not too less)When it’s up to a minimal 1%of your battery levels, then try to enter your same correct code of course..if it unlocks now, then your good to Go:remember right after getting secure entry that you charge back up to 💯 100 percent ASAP or at least enough for it to not die again before a power reset…So if that works then once again Remembeto do soon afterwards a routine power-reset before using too much!!
