2-yr old locks iPhone for 47 years

This two-year-old boy locked his mum's phone for 47 years. when I saw this I was like how does that even work and what is the mum going to do about that because it would have all her stuff on it and everything.

He locked by repeatedly enters the wrong passcode. A phone technician at an Apple store in Shanghai told the woman she could wait the years and then put her passcode in or wipe the contents of the handset clean and then reinstall files. 

she waited for two months to see if it would fix its self but it was still disabled. she said she couldn't really wait 47 years and tell her grandchild that it was her father's fault.
