How did Sherlock write letters on Irene's mobile in A Scandal in Belgravia, when (usually) the code for a lock screen of a phone contains 4 digits not letters?

He was trying numbers all through the episode, that means that the keys that are available are only numbers, so how could he write the word 'SHER'?



Best Answer

He was trying numbers all the episode, that means that the keys that are available are only numbers

It means no such thing and isn't true anyway

He tried both random numbers AND letters previously.

Clearly the input accepted both numbers and letters.

In fact a 4 digit number is significantly less secure than a random 4 letter &/or 10 digit code which given Irene's dependency on the phone's security makes sense.

It's probably not a stock passcode app, but a high security version.

How did Sherlock know the code to the phone?

Originally Answered: What did the code of irene's phone "SHER" meant in Sherlock Holmes season 2 episode 1? If u read carefully, it shows that it read 'I am SHERlocked'. Sherlock knew that Irene was attracted to him and so he deduced that the password was related to him.

What is the meaning of I am sher locked?

The password on Idler's phone is S.H.E.R and, with the background, it reads "I AM SHER LOCKED" (I am Sherlocked) like "I'm into Sherlock" or "Sherlock conquered my heart". Sherlock cracks the password exactly because she said that her phone is her life and he deduces that it's her heart. 11.

Why is Irene Adler important?

While not technically a criminal and bearing no malice towards Holmes, Adler is one of the most notable female characters in the Sherlock Holmes series, despite appearing in only one story. Due to the fact that she outsmarts him and evades his traps, Sherlock Holmes refers to her afterward respectfully as "the Woman."
