A security flaw in iOS 6.1 allows a person to easily circumvent a lockscreen password and access contact information on an iPhone. The bypass method was demonstrated by YouTube user videosdebarraquito and reported by Gizmodo.
To bypass the lockscreen password, a person has to hold down the power button, initiate and then immediately cancel an emergency call.
