I was given an iPhone this morning and it had a lock code on it. The user also provided me the unlock code which did not work. I was very worried that this was a stolen phone but the person swore up and down that it wasn’t. I figured I would do a little bit of searching on the internet and found the following:
You can re-sync the phone to your computer that you initially synced with and it will unlock the code. This doesn’t work for him since his laptop is busted. Convenent right? Well now I totally think it is a stolen phone. For giggles, however, I tried to do a soft reset. I held down the top and front buttons until the phone turned off. I turned the phone back in, inputted the code, and it worked! Seems that the iPhone just had locked up via the software and was acting retarded.
Moral of the story is, not all phones are stolen!
