3-Year-Old Boy Locks Dad's iPad For 48.5 Years
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Most people can't go five minutes without checking their phone or devices. So just imagine how one dad is feeling after his 3-year-old son incorrectly guessed the password and locked his iPad for 48.5 years.
Evan Osnos, a writer for "The New Yorker," tweeted out a picture of the disabled iPad, which asked him to "try again in 25,536,442 minutes."
Uh, this looks fake but, alas, it's our iPad today after 3-year-old tried (repeatedly) to unlock. Ideas? pic.twitter.com/5i7ZBxx9rW

Thankfully, Osnos later tweeted that he was able to restore the device.
But as with any viral tweet, the replies to Osnos' original predicament did not disappoint.
Reboot your 3 y.o.
