Just wait for 60 minutes.

After that you can chose to use this or the old passcode.

Settings > General > Passcode.

An hour is not maximum. It will increase to years in no time. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212


If you Restore the phone on the last computer you synced to it will remove the passcode. If you don't have access to that computer you will have to restore using Recovery mode and you will lose all of your content. Instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

First of all, it's wrong. That's only true if you enabled the option to wipe the phone after 10 tries. If you did not enable this option it will roughly double the wait after each try. Which will grow pretty quickly, and reach a year in no time.


Second, this is the quote from the link you provided:


After eleven failed passcode attempts (which take at least two hours and 21 minutes) your device’s screen will go black and all data will be deleted. After that you can always restore from your last backup made with iTunes — sync every day!
