[NFBCS] iPhone auto-corrupting passcode?

[Christopher Chaltain]

I can’t say it’s impossible, but
I would be shocked if the iPhone changed your passcode due to a bug in the system.

I’m not saying this is what you did, but I’ve been known to misspell my password in both the password field and the verify password fields.

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!
