Ok so I was goofing around late at night and had the "Brilliant" idea to change my password, so I go to change it and as a joke I change it to "qazwsxedcrfvtgbyhnujmikolp" I put it into the phone lock screen, and it works.

So again, I decide to change it once more to "Qwerty!" (I was going to change it back to the original password after this) While it was loading ithad a change of heart and hit cancel. I close my phone to put in my seemingly canceled password and it shuts down and appears a white screen showing "Data recovery cannot be completed. Please restore your iPhone from backup." any ideas on how to fix this???

And this is why you don’t do cute things with your password late at night, ladies and gentlemen.

Not good. I hope you had an iTunes backup, or you use iCloud backups, because it sounds like your data is fried. iPhones are designed with security and privacy from the very start, your passcode doesn’t just move you past the Lock Screen, it actually encrypts all of your data. That’s why when you’ve just turned on your phone and you put in your passcode the first time everything loads slowly, it’s still decrypting all the data before it can access it. Sounds like you managed to corrupt the data by cancelling the procedure while it was in the middle of encrypting the data with the new passcode. Basically the data on your phone is more than likely unrecoverable.

Wow....

Thanks for telling me, but no thanks for me frying my data.
