Well folks, it finally happened. I forgot my phone’s passcode.
For the first time in decades, I can’t remember my passcode. Years of muscle memory finally desynchronized from its numeric representation, and I can’t tap the correct numbers. I SWORE it’s one sequence, but my phone says it isn’t.
It’s no big deal; I have a recent backup, and an erase/restore allows me to enter a new passcode (which I swore was the same as my old one), and I got my data back. But I never thought this would happen to me.
I guess the lesson here is to keep a #backup?
