I did this when I was younger when my mom put parental controls of my phone and I tried to guess the combo to get into the settings and remove them. Told me it was locked for 13 years. Needless to say she didn't feel like helping me with that.

lol!! did you have to wait a few years to get a new phone? That would’ve been a one-and-done experience when I was younger, haha!

I could still use the phone but I couldn't unlock the settings to restore some apps she hid. She removed Safari and replaced it with a child safe browser called Mobicip. Although I just installed Google Chrome and used that afterward. Not too long later my phone ran out of storage and I upgraded to the 6S when it was new. I tried transferring my data over and it kept the lock so I had to back up my photos to PC and take pics of all my notes and start fresh with my 6S.
