Put a new password in on her home screen and forgot her combo. What can she do to fix this thanks
 
Oh I'm dead serious, there's a 25% chance they could inherit all of her brain power.
 
to the OP ignore all the losers who think snide remarks are funny (don't even begin to say you have never forgot something in your entire existence because that is a bold faced lie and you know it).

I think the only thing she can do is restore, from a back up when you've lost a password like that it is gone for good.

or maybe try to think of signifcant numbers or words/number combinations that she may have used.

How do you restore

Plug it into iTunes, in the Summary tab there is a button labeled 'Restore'

Click that and it will tell you that you will lose all your data, etc.; click okay and it will restore. So if you didn't already, I would at least sync contacts, mail, etc. with iCloud, if you need those backed up (since if you backup in iTunes it will store the passcode you don't know as well).

If you backed up your phone previously (obviously choose a backup without a passcode), you will be given an option to restore from it after the wipe is completed.

Good luck.
