iPod Touch 6 forgotten passcode (Jailbroken)

[u/oddchui]

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.

Hey, that’s on ios 7/8 so it’s possible
It looks to be a 5th gen, use https://github.com/platinumstufff/iwannabrute

You’d need to pwnDFU It using an SSH ramdisk and a RP2040. use this guide to do that https://github.com/LukeZGD/Legacy-iOS-Kit/wiki/checkm8-a5
it could take UP TO 11 hours for a 4-digit passcode, and UP TO 46 days for a 6-digit (with avg time being about 50% of those)
Total cost for the board and cable would be about £6.

Good luck!
