Rule #1 - shouldn't update right away and wait until users report back
Indeed.
I recommend waiting at least four days before upgrading to iOS 9.3. Wait until at least Friday 1st April.
Got a tip for us?

The major bug was known to Apple two days ago; they should have fixed it within 24 hours.
Sick and tired of Cook's lousy Apple quality control. Customer satisfaction, my arse.
Reality doesn't work on imaginary assumptions.
Reading comprehension seems to be a serious issue for MacRumors commenters, as well as remembering the past.
Beta releases only fix problem if Apple listens and has people allocated to fix problems. However, marketing has set a schedule for WWDC and no problem, no matter how large or small will get in the way of the next marketing release. Its all about the 20 second release sound bite. No one cares about anything more.
Rule #2 - Race to be the first to install the betas.Rule #1 - shouldn't update right away and wait until users report back
Why haven’t you switched platforms yet? You’ve been on the rag about Apple forever it seems. Why keep using a platform you despise from a company whose CEO you despise?
How is forgetting your password a "bug"? Only if in your brain i guess...
Or if all issues are even discovered.

It had 2 problems. Now 1. So much leaking!!!
You should be a journalist. Would make a killing.Can you tell me what parts of the code went wrong and needed to be fixed? Specific lines with solutions would be nice.
If you can't give us all some detailed technical information about this bug based on knowledge and experience, you have no business attempting to dictate how long a fix should take. No wonder you dislike Apple- you expect them to just snap their fingers and make everything happen.
I don't think that's entirely fair. Why should it be fixed within 24 hours? Yes, there's an issue and Apple are working on a fix. At least they are working on it, if you were on Android, you'd be waiting months...
my wife's iPhone 6 (which I upgraded to 9.3 last week with 0 issues) woke up to this activation screen this morning. I had a feeling it was a new OTA to fix the 9.3 issues. Anyone have the issues on the iPhone 6? I was surprised her phone got the update.
see above post. My wife woke up to screen shown in the OP... on an iPhone 6. Would it have gone to iPhone 6 as well?
Since we are in a paranoid society where some websites even ask you to update your password every 6 months, we are inundated with passwords.
Some require 7 , some 8 digits and an unusual character like #, @ etc.
Now, the point of a password is that it's not easily accessible, so one shouldn't write them down.
Some websites I visit once a year, which then force you to come up with another password.
Even Apple doesn't let you use the same password over and over again after a reset.
If you do a lot of online payments, shopping etc. you can easily end up with at 10 plus passwords.
I think the only way is to do this is via the iCloud recovery tool on icloud.com 'Forgotten email or password' - If you don't know the recovery information you might have to give them a call.
It's probably already mentioned but why not use a password manager? I use 1Password and I actually don't know ANY of my passwords off-by-heart so I can't accidentally give them out. I have a different password for every site I use. Some people might think that's a bit extreme but it's not an issue for me.
That supreme power lies in your own hands. Download a restore image and flash it yourself in DFU mode and say "voila!"

You can't seriously be expecting a fix in arbitrary "24 hours"! In good faith, I am sure you're just kidding.
It might also be worth emphasizing to obtain a password-manager which not only runs on the iPhone/iPad/etc. (iOS) device, but also has a version that runs on their computer (OS X, Windows) AND which syncs the passwords between the different devices. Some people complained that they couldn't access their password manager, because it's an app on the unavailable iOS device. Well, if you make sure you get a product, as just previously mentioned, that also runs on your computer, then you'll have all your passwords there too (assuming you synchronize/update them regularly).
