After how many attempts to enter the password is the mobile phone locked forever😭?

In my last question, I asked how I can unlock my cell phone again without a password because my cell phone says it is wrong, although I thought it was correct, I recognized the problem and although I still know the actual password, but the big one I've completely forgotten lower case and I've tried so many times already, first after three attempts I had to wait 10 seconds, then 10 minutes, then half an hour and then an hour, the hour is almost over and then I try three again but I try I'm afraid that I will have to wait days or weeks or that my cell phone will be completely broken. Jmd knows how long you have to wait then.

if it should be important: huawei p9 lite

What password are you talking about

Mobile phone password

For me it was after 3 attempts

Locked forever? After three try ohaa.

Handy password you have an infinite number of attempts. SIM pin 3. Then you need the PUK. Then a new card.

Screen lock?

Yes.

Endless attempts with each cell phone right?

You have already tried more than 3 times, you have written and you have other options. So I assume that this also applies to your device. Whether for all cell phones worldwide. Beats me.

Ok but do you have to wait for days at some point until you can try again?

I don't know. But maybe this will help you further https://blog.deinhandy.de/entsperrmuster-und-pin-vergessen-so-entsperrst-du-dein-handy
