help for unlocking my phone

[jj.goli]

I have a very serious problem with my 4s you can see in the picture attached.
my daughter has done this to my phone I wish you know any help for me.

I found that the number of minutes on the screenshot equals just under 50 yrs:
26,015,544 Minutes =
49.46398626 Years
Might be a clue?
That your iphone is somehow locked for 50yrs from jan 1st 2020?
Very strange.

...might its date be set to fifty years ago?
1970?

so what can I do if the problem is its date?
I can't unlock my phone to correct it.
but I think she has tried to open my phone with wrong passcode too many times and it has happened to my phone.

If you have proof of purchase Apple will unlock the phone for you. If you don't, the phone is done. No one on this forum can help you circumvent the passcode lock...

This seems different than activation lock, and it's hard to say if Apple can really help. It's possible the only option would be to completely restore the phone as new.

If you value the data on the phone, just wait the 50 years. If not, just wipe the phone clean and restart.

I figured he may have data he doesn't want to lose. From what I've seen on the forum, most of these scenarios involve no recent backup and refusal to restore the phone as new. I guess the OP needs to provide more info. I personally would follow your advice because I backup everything on multiple platforms, multiple times a week..
