I locked myself out of my phone and am out of the country without access to a computer only an iPad to email and access iCloud how can I get into my phone

Hi Myreiac,

Here's what the Apple Support site says you can do if you do not have access to a computer when your device has been disabled:

If you are using Find My iPhone, you can use Remote Wipe to restore your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode.

You can access Find My iPhone via the Find My iPhone app on your iPad.

Good luck!

Cheers,

GB

Hi Gail. Just thought I might mention that I will not be on as often. I am coming out of retirement to work for a company that makes computer chips and wafers

Hey Ocean!

Well that is cool! Are you excited? Sounds like a new venture for you.....

GB

Yes start end of this week as in house patent attorney. Chips and wafers I will not go hungry! Love chippies

😁 Will they have any fish to go along with those? Or are chippies something entirely different than "chips"....

Maybe dip to go along with them (that's what we would have with them, since they are not French fries here....)

Oh, Gail, "chippies" are a very different thing than "chips"! Though apparently, the meaning is different in the U.S. than the U.K and possibly Austrailia. (See the first entry if you search Google).

😁 You are right, of course, Meg, but it never entered my mind!!! We will have to wait for Ocean to get back to us both to explain himself!!!

I'm sure he just meant a chip shop! He seems like such a nice man. 😉

Chips (or chippies as I call them) can be either potato chips or fries as you call them and may also be crisps. I love them all. I am not one to discriminate.

OK, Ocean - you have some 'splainin' to do...

Meg and I are waiting patiently for a complete explanation of what you Aussies mean by chippies.....we are gravely concerned that you have officially gone off the deep end....(see posts above) 😝

GB

Well, we were writing at the same time! You are off the hook, my friend! (as I figured you would be.... 🙂).

I'm so relieved that I did interpet your sentence correctly....I mean, geeeeeeeeez!

So, what day of this week is your first day?

GB

So, "crisps" are what we call chips, and "chips" are what we call fries? I need to get this straight.

It means something VERY differenent in the U.S.: young women of, ahem, less than sterling character.

Not sure. Still listening to this song by Mental as Anything called "the nips are getting bigger"

Non sequitur, dude.....

Or possibly an airplane remark? (flew right over my head?)
