Good reason to keep little ones away from your personal devices.

My grandson has his own tablet. He once managed to lock everyone out of it. It took his dad ages to figure it out and to get access once again.

Oh thats funny….my son changed the language on my phone to Chinese….had to go to a Samsung store to fix it.

Oh dear. My grandson successfull managed to accidentally wipe all the movies and shows my son out on a tablet for him. He just fluked pressing the wrong buttons. Very frustrating though

I don’t see how this could happen. First time you get locked out for 1 minute. The next is for 5 and it gradually goes up. How long was that child alone with the iPad?

Good grief, surely there’s another way other than erasing everything. Usually you get locked out after a few tries for a certain time, not continuously add to the minutes. I don’t have an iPad though so wouldn’t know how they work, just other devices/websites.

I wonder how long the child was left alone with the i pad to try that many times to unlock it that it locked for that long? Seems funny and will be a great story for the 18th or 21st, but probably isn’t very funny now lol

I didn’t know that it was even possible to do this?

how is that even possible wow?

Think the new rules for children and devices might just come in handy in future.

Yes I did for my kids. We are catholic, and we wanted our kids in catholic high schools. Best thing we ever did for both kids

Crazy story if it is true, something my kid would do!

As if apple wouldn’t put a limit to how long it would lock for!! Lol

Why on earth does it even have this feature! maybe theft protection. That’s going to be an interesting trip to the genius bar. My kids new not to touch an they didn’t

I wonder how many times the toddler tried to put the password in. Does the guy’s Provider have a record of passwords. I know mine does but you have to answer a lot of questions for security purposes.

I think the Ipad needs to updated and all apps and failing that to be reset. If that doesn’t work trade in the toddler. Jokes, this whole article seems far fetched but was still an interesting read. It makes no sense for it to be locked for this long.

Devices need to be away from inquisitive little hands.

I’ve had my phone locked for about 5 minutes. I’d better backup all of my devices!

Oh! I didn’t even know you could lock the iPad. What a pity for the lost backup indeed. So many memories gone.

Oh no! What a pain, i dont use passcodes
