How can I unlock my iPhone with my passcode. I DID NOT FORGET IT. My kid was messing around with my phone and it is locked for 6 hours! Please someone has an answer to this?

Wait six hours and then enter the passcode again. There are no other options unless you want to erase the phone and start all over again from scratch.

Next time, if the kid messes around long enough.....(the wrong passcode is entered 10 times)......you will be completely locked out of your own phone with no options to proceed except erase the phone and start over again.

IF....that happens, and you want the phone to look like it did before it was locked, you will need a current backup to reload onto the phone after it has been erased.
