Child blocks his father's iPad for almost half a century

A child blocks his father's iPad for almost half a century Published: 8 Apr 2019 16:46 GMT The youngest, 3 years old, tried repeatedly to unblock access to the device, so the device was inaccessible for the next 25,536,442 minutes The journalist of the American magazine The New Yorker Evan Osnos has taken an unpleasant surprise to discover that his tablet has been blocked for the next 48 years. In a tweet published last week, Osnos said that his iPad was blocked because his 3-year-old son repeatedly tried to unlock access to the device. In an image of the screen of the tablet published by the journalist, I read the following message: "try again in 25,536,442 minutes." "This seems false, but unfortunately it is our iPad," Osnos wrote. In the comments left by other Twitter users, some recommended reinstalling the tablet's operating system and restoring the data from the backup, while others indicated that nothing they do could unlock the device. Other Internet users were less dramatic and they suggested to the journalist that he keep the device to give it to his son when he turns 51 years old or that he buys a new iPad. Also, there were those who suggested sharing the password with their children in order to avoid problems.
