I forgot my pin to my phone so I hooked it to my computer to do an update/restore.
When the update/restore was done, my phone is now icloud locked and I'm getting this screen:
I can't remember what email I used for this but my question is:
can "t*****@m*****.com" only be equal to something like
tjones@mjones.com (i.e., 5 characters where the asterisks are representing the number of characters)?
Or can it be:
tjohnson123214@mjohnson25345342343@co.uk
(i.e., (1) are the asterisks only a place-holder for any length of text? And (2) must it end in .com or was apple being lazy in how they designed this screen?)
Note this was updated to iOS 9.1 and the phone is an iPhone 4s.

The number of dots is not indicative of the number of characters missing at all—there could be 5, more than 5 or less than 5. The characters shown, however, are correct, including '.com'.
