Doesn't sim card get blocked after 3 tries? Or is this different kind of pin?

  Yes, it's talking about the Android lockscreen pin.

    But in the phone’s lockscreen, you are usually not bound by the 4-digit requirement of SIM card PINs, hence can use an arbitrary alphanumeric password (though likely rather short, as you have to enter it often on a small keyboard). 36^5 >> 10^4.

      For that matter, 36^3 > 10^4, by about a factor of 5.

  Android phones, and possibly iPhones as well, have multiple options for screen locks, one of which is a pin. That said, it will block pin entry after a set amount of failures after which you have to wait a set amount of time or log in with your Google account. I imagine the wait time scales if you continue guessing, rendering this bot quite useless.
