Hello all, please tell me how/whether it is possible accidentally to change the final digit of my iPhone passcode. Because it has somehow been changed. Maybe I did it, but it is interesting that I discovered it when I tried to enter the code after a recent update. Apple or me? Since Apple doesn't have a disability phone number (Microsoft does, shame on Apple) and has not answered my emergency e-mail, I am learning that multiple unsuccessful attempts to put in the passcode locks you out for a geometrically-increasing length of time.
I welcome suggestions or just sympathy. Apparently a "forgotten" passcode can be fixed only by a total [phone reset.
Thanks Apple!
