My elderly father has locked himself out of his phone. (He has severe memory issues.) He kept on messing with it and has managed to get himself locked out of his phone for the next 5 hours and 37 mins. I have the passwords and the passkey for his phone. Is there anyway without a reset that I can bypass this time limit using my iMac and the proper credentials?
Please and Thank you!
Thank you. Only a few more hours to go. Sheesh. He's missing watching his facebook videos and is chomping at the bit. One can only hope he actually remembers this lesson. :) I greatly appreciate your swift response. This is a great way to show him I truly did everything I could short of reset. I'm not even going there for MY sanity. LOL Thank you.

Avoiding a Locked iPhone:
If he has his own Apple Account, he can use it without a passcode. So, if willing, set up a different Apple Account for him, and then set it up, thistle, without a passcode. Just know that anyone can access it and his Apple Account (and lock him out) with ease, if someone else got access to it.

There is not.
You’re welcome.
For the future, perhaps this approach will help.
