Eric Adams Told FBI He Forgot His Phone’s Passcode

According to reporting, they have actually done this before.

Most of the discussion I've read about this is along the lines of: clone the drive on the phone and then brute force the clones (circumventing the lockout issue: if you get locked out just keep trying on a new clone).

In a relatively famous case, the FBI cracked the password on the San Bernardino shooter's phone, but did not explain how they did it: https://www.vox.com/2016/3/29/11325134/apple-iphone-fbi-san-bernardino-case-ends

Here is a company selling a brute force module for iPhones, although they don't explain how they get around the lockout issue: https://belkasoft.com/unlocking-ios-devices-with-brute-force
