Haha, who still uses 1234 as their PIN these days? I bet Smith was the type of person who used that as his luggage combination too!

I wonder if the device manufacturer would really give out a Temporary Unlock Code to a random forensic investigator. Sounds a bit sketchy to me.

I agree, the PUK is the way to go here. Trying random PIN guesses is just a waste of time.
