Long story short...
Phone charging point broke...took 9 months to fix and now forgotten password.
Everywhere I have looked says after 10 attempts it should revert to factory settings , but i am up to 83 attemtps so far ! I really don't want to lose the data on the phone but at this stage anyway of getting the blooming thing to work would be really appreciated !
If it means anything to anyone it's a 2015 Priv.
Thank you
You must have inadvertently disabled the 10 attempt limit.
You have two choices - keep trying indefinitely, or run an autoloader.

Thank you very much. A friend set up my phone so it's possible they disabled it. That would make sense though. At least I know I probably haven't lost the data yet though if I haven't got the password right in 87 attempts I am not sure I will if I just keep going haha.
If not then I will try and figure out how to use the autoloader. I presume you can down load it to a laptop then connect that to your phone and working it that way ?
Thanks again :)
Instructions are in the link. But yes, you'll need a PC.
