Hello everyone!

My friend forgot his iPad3 (ios 6.1,Jailbroken) 4-digit lockscreen passcode,or because he used another method to modify the passcode.

Now I bypass the lockscreen 4-digit passcode,but when I connect wifi with completely correct password,but prompted me wrong password,wifi password can only be set to null to connectand.
I restore the keypad dictionary must enter the password.


I know the user mobile‘s password , and 5 characters long,but lockscreen only type 4 characters .
I try to change the user mobile password , but terminal prompted: password must be at least 5 characters long.

Is the user mobile =screen user (X window user,iPad general user)?How to change the password length?


How can I do in addition to upgrade to 7.1?

The password stored there isn't your lockscreen password. If I remember correctly, it's stored in var/keychain-2.db

Now I'm far from an expert, but I believe if you delete that file and reboot, you have a chance to get around the lock screen password.

Thank you!
I have tried to delete that file, but the file will automatically appear again after reboot.:confused:

what you're looking at is a file noting the user shell accounts not anything to do with the lock screen

You could just ask the person the phone was stolen from.... ;-)

Again he's talking about needing to change the password for the lock screen, however in his attempts it appears he's trying to change a shell user's password, which will pretty much do him no good...

I dunno, in all of my life I've never set a 4 digit passcode then "forgotten" it.
