Hi All-

My 10 year old son decided to spend the afternoon trying to guess my iTunes password and download some apps. Now, my account is on security lockout and Apple support is closed for the night. Is there some other way to get my account straightened out?

Thanks!
 
You could email them but its likely you'll have to wait until tomorrow. Also, if your 10 year old guessed your password and downloaded apps then I question how good the password was and/or how smart that kid is.
 
And make sure to hide your device from your son tonight, in case he decides another round of downloads is appropriate.

It sounds to me like the kid didn't guess the password; hence the account is on lockout due to too many failed attempts.

Sounds to me when he said his kid bought apps that his kid guessed his password.

No, you can reset the password. My douchebag of a friend tried to guess my password once and I just reset the password.

He said his kid was trying guess his password AND download some apps. If his kid locked the account, then chances are he probably didn't get in. And won't be able to for however long the lockout time is.

But he didn't say his kid bought any apps. Read the sentence again.

"...trying to guess my iTunes password and download some apps."

His kid was trying to guess his password and download some apps.
 
in 1984, you could just beat your kid and things like this would never happen. Now, you go to jail......go figure.
