What if we just say I always forget the code and use the built-in too many tries wipes the data setting?
If you forgot the code can you offer to let them have it? Then you could wipe it remotely?
Trying to understand what would happen if you really forgot the passcode.
Unless you suffered some traumatic brain injury, nobody is going to believe you can't unlock your phone after being in detention for 24 hours.
It would probably be treated as an intentional wipe.
Perhaps the trauma of being in detention made you unable to remember it? It's really up to the prosecution/accusers to prove it, isn't it?
Don't lie, just don't talk.
