I a have non-simple passcode, and apparently, I typed it in wrong when I set it. Now, I cannot figure out what I typed, and it's already disabled for 48 more minutes.
What do?

I don't believe you can do that. I just logged in to iCloud.com and couldn't find that option. Do you know that that option exists? In any case, generally speaking, changing passcodes usually requires entry of the existing passcode prior to entering the new passcode.
Doesn't the iPhone ask you to type in your new Passcode twice before it sets it, how did you type it incorrectly (twice incorrectly) without realizing it?
No you can not change your passcode via iCloud, once you activate findmyiphone, if it detects you have a passcode on your device, it will ask you to lock your phone using that same passcode (you can not create a new one).
And if you try to restore your phone via iTunes, its going to warn you that your device is passcode locked and you must type in your code before you're allowed to do a restore.
Congratulations, you know have (found)(I mean have) a $600 paper weight.

I'd like to know the same thing. Maybe auto-correct?
Damnit.
Maybe not if I use DFU mode or Recovery mode.
It is your iDevice right?
This thread is on the same level as "My 3 year old son deleted my passcode and locked my device by creating a new complex passcode, and he doesn't remember it"
yes, this was an actual thread on this board.
It has nothing to do with memory, and yes it's my iPhone.

Don't accuse me of being a thief.
If it weren't my phone, I wouldn't have access to the iCloud account that is synced with it.

You can when I show happy emotion after a user recommends that I change the passcode via iCloud.
Well, hopefully iCloud backs up automatically even when "iPhone is disabled"
If so, then restoring won't be a problem.
