This happened to me a few days ago!
A classmate, female, presented to me with an iPhone 5 that had symptoms of, well, a locked iPhone whose passcode is forgotten. She asked me to bypass the passcode, so I thought, "Better borrow a laptop then" (Mine is on Linux).
Restored the phone, gave its owner a thumbs-up, only to find the owner broken and in tears.
Turns out she wanted me to bypass the damned thing FOR THE DATA.
Cue an hour trying to explain encryption to her, to no avail, because she believes I was too incompetent to break Apple's encryption.
Sigh.
