DOES RESTORING YOUR IPHONE 5 WHEN YOU FORGOT YOUR PASSCODE WORK?

I've been a little skeptical to try the restore method, because what if it takes super long and the passcode still isn't broken. Youtube videos show that it's fine to do so, but I'm really worried to put my phone in any sort of danger that i can't get out of…

It will. And it will take some time. But make sure you have things backs up!
total must in this method. It works well though!
I've done it at least 3 times never fails to break the code.
