Luckily, if he's been connected to wifi recently, iCloud backs up automatically so it should be recent.
Yeah, the last time it was backed up was the day before he got locked out around 1:30 PM. So, I ended up just doing the recovery mode and then restore from iCloud back up over wifi.
He had some 200+ apps (most free or free for the day specials, etc.), so it was going to take forever to redownload over wifi. So, I just plugged back into my Mac and had it restore the apps over wire (at least I think it restored over wire...I got a message that I needed to keep wifi on - I had turned it off - so I'm not sure which method it ended up getting the apps back with), but all's well that ends well!
I told both kids no more passcode locks. Though, I'm still baffled that if restrictions are enabled, there should be an option to disable passcode lock. I'm sure this happens all the time.
