Maximum failed passcode attempts in restrictions - what happens?

Yes, my iphone 6 is doing the same thing, it does NOT seem to wipe any data off, it jujst keeps on adding more and more time to the attempt tries. I plan on emailing /calling apple and ask if its a bug in the system or just our devices.

I would appreciate any other comments from others that may know why my iphone 6 does NOT wipe all data after 10 attempts. Yes the erase data feature is on.

Just thought i'd help someone out as well. thanks to the message above i was able to keep trying passcodes without waiting an hour between attempts. I made it to 31 attempts but finally guessed my passcode. I also made it to the future with changing the time myself but at least I dont have to delete my phone anymore to remove restrictions.

It triggers a doomsday device, wiping all life out on the planet.

If you forget the restrictions passcode the phone will become locked and the only way to use it again will be to restore the phone to the factory settings, which will wipe all data from the phone in the process. After restoring the phone you can then restaore it to the last backup that you made.

I do not know, I do not see that on page 150 of the user guide.

I am caught in this where I am up to 3 failed attempts. I can restore my photos other data from iClouds. My question is will my dowloaded apps be deleted? Thanks, Charles.

Yes, all apps that are not preinstalled will be deleted. Don't you have all of those apps backed up in the iTunes content libraries on your computer?

No, I did not think of that (iTunes backup). I do not sync my iPod or iPhone but I am sure I can do the backup manually. Thank you.

You can re-download your apps at any time, but your backup holds app data, such as documents or saved games.

*WARNING*

For those about to consider thinking wiping your data, consider it a clever option to think again.

*Once you wipe it, you can never find your iPod / iPad / Mac on iCloud, you cannot send it messages, you cannot lock it, or locate it.

Apple forgets to let the consumer know that if your Product is lost / stolen, and you wipe it - it is basically gone forever unless someone / somehow returns it to you, without having your info.

You'll end up having to purchase a new one.

Hi there,

I am being asked the restrition passcode when I try to 'Erase All Content and Settings'.

If I exceed the limit, do I need to restore the phone by using iTunes? If that's the case, it will force me to the latest iOS version. However, I want to keep my current iOS version while resetting everything.

Thanks for the attention!

I have 9 failed and I have one more soo yeah im screwed... Im gonna try any more. haha
