But even if it was incompetence, the February 19th Motion to Compel they stated that the owner of the phone tried to reset the password. Which seems a bit disingenuous if the FBI told them to do it.

So the county and the FBI are blaming each other?

Or is this the FBI carefully parsing words by saying the owner of the phone (i.e. the attacker's employer) tried to reset the password, without mentioning that said reset was done at the FBI's request?

... and without mentioning that it was, apparently, successful.

Let's not let the details get in the way.
