It is noted that the hacking operation is possible only if there is a message about the missed call on the screen.

Using a paper clip, you need to pull out a tray with a SIM card from the device, wait a few seconds, then insert it back and drag your finger over the message.

After these actions, the iPhone phone application should open. With it, you can make calls, send SMS and emails, as well as view and edit the list of contacts. Other phone features will still be blocked.

Thus, you can crack the password on any device on which iOS 5 is installed. It can be iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS.

However, this method has its drawbacks. First, it will not work without notification of a missed call. Secondly, you need to catch the moment when the device is looking for a network.

Here is the original video from iPhoneIslam:
