Help: iphone password unlock

[artniv]

I'm trying to unlock my wife's iphone. I'll let your vivid imagination ponder why I might want to do that. My questions are:

1.) How many times can I guess the wrong password before the iphone alerts my wife that I've been trying to break the password code?

2.) Apart from brute force, i.e. typing in all 10,000 possible combinations, what are some tricks for trying to guess her password. I've tried things like birthdays, ss # and so on already?

Thanks in advance for your help with this

I have found an iphone 8gb on a bus and trying to unlock it to try and find the owner. i have my own iphone and know that my whole life is in it. so if someone can help me unlock it i am sure the owner would love it returned with all the info on it. If the owner is on the forum the phone has a dog picture screen saver.

My iphone is on my exchange server. It will wipe the device after 10 attempts. I don't know if that's just because it's on exchange or if that is part of the newer firmwares, but you should be careful you don't hit 10.

diddl. Call the bus company, I'm CERTAIN that the person would have called the bus company looking for it.

You could always look at the screen and see if you can find finger prints that would line up to the code. However, that might be a shot in the dark.
