How to bypass the lock screen in iOS without knowing the password

I was surprised to find that Habr circumvented the news that anyone can bypass the iPhone lock screen and gain access to private data, for example, photos and the phone book. Provided that Siri is turned on on the smartphone.



For those who do not want to watch the video or who have failed to reproduce, I give detailed instructions.
The main thing in the second step.

1. Enter the wrong password four times.
2. For the fifth time, enter THREE digits, hold down the Home button and immediately press the fourth button to enter the password.
3. Ask Siri "What time is it."
4. Click on the appeared Clock box.
5. In the application that opens, click on the "+" button.
6. Next in the search, enter any set of letters.
7. Select the previously maintained set.
8. In the pop-up menu that appears, select the "Share" item.
9. In the new menu, specify "Messages".
! If the window for entering the password for the device appears here, then you did something wrong in step 2.

10. Well then, simply, you can create a new contact or view the entire phone book. When creating a new contact, you can view photos by selecting the "assign photo to contact" option.

Just checked on iOS 9.1 beta - the bug is playing.
