I recently had a bit of a mess-up with my iPhone password and I thought I couldn't remember it. But no matter how I think about it, I know the correct password. However, when I tried it, it was incorrect. Now I've gotten to the point where my phone is unavailable and appears to be requiring a factory reset. Is this a problem for others and is there any way to get around the factory reset?
