Screen passlock

[WPCentral Question]

Something happened to my nokia lumia 920. My phone got disabled for 2 minutes and then i restarted it and it got disabled for 5.750 minutes. I also tried to soft reset. It still didn't work. Someone help me?

Security feature, albeit an annoying one. You can either wait it out, or if stuff on there is backed up, it would have to be a hard reset.

I think if put one of the passcodes in wrong a couple of times, fail (resulting in the first lock), and reset it, the phone thinks it's being tampered with or someone's trying a brute force attempt at gaining access, so it changes the time to a few days.

Very annoying but "working as intended", sadly.

Wait, five thousand minutes or five minutes? You have to do a hard reset by pressing the volume down + camera + power button.

5000-odd minutes I'm afraid. Which is a few days.
