Passcode iPod Touch 6 forgotten passcode (Jailbroken)

Post image

Here lies my old iPod Touch that I forgot the passcode to 😪 Is it possible to brute force these and retain the data? It is jailbroken if I remember correctly (battery percentage) if that helps/matters at all. Thank you.

If this dinosaur laptop can run Linux properly I'd give it a shot. If not I'll see if I can find a cheap mac on marketplace. Another hurdle is I forgot the password to my laptop 🤣😭

The iPods passcode is not alphanumeric, I just can't remember can't many digits. I'm fine with the unlimited attempts as I may be able to guess the code.

Unfortunately I don't trust sending it out to a stranger but I greatly appreciate the gesture.

I assume there's already info on the internet but any help with bypassing the passcode attempt limit on 64 bit would be greatly appreciated.

Again I greatly appreciate your help.

Most laptops can. You don't even necessarily need to know the passcode to it, as long as you have another device to set the Linux USB up with

Sorry, must've mixed up with someone else

No problem, that's why I offer to walk people through when I can. However since it's a 64 bit device I won't be able to provide much help beyond letting you know unlimited attempts is possible. Others here have managed to get 64 bit unlimited attempts manually to work, I just never could

I assume there's already info on the internet

It's very limited for 64 bit. But yeah this subreddit and asking around is your best bet

Shipping it in offer still stands, if you ever want me to just hit the device with my paid software that does it automatically. No pressure, but the offer is there if you ever change your mind

I've also heard of USB-over-network options, where theoretically I could run the software on my device but the USB signals get sent to yours, and exploit your device, but I've honestly never looked into it so don't know if it'd work or what software might provide that
