It looks like they're inferring the right 6-digit password about 20% of the time on their first try, presumably using the Xiaomi phone. But if they can try 20 candidates before getting locked out, they can guess the 6-digit password about 50% of the time.

With the Samsung phone, which has a much lower 1-digit recovery rate, it seems that it would be closer to 6% on the first try, and 20% by the twentieth try.
