That part is exactly the same as what they've done 70-some times previously. They didn't make some FBI agent sit there and tap out 0000 through 9999...they installed a piece of software to do it quickly. The software was signed with their key so that it would install on an iPhone.
The only difference is that this time the software they install would also have to turn off the delete-after-ten-attempts thing.
