Hello,


I see you may have a disabled device or forgotten device passcode. If you see a waiting period you can try again after the timer ends. If you wish to proceed with resetting, or if it is disabled/security lockout/unavailable, refer to this support article for various methods that you can use to resolve this. --> If you forgot your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Vision Pro passcode, reset your device without a computer - Apple Support Which one you can use depends upon your equipment configuration.


If you reset your passcode in the last 72 hours and have forgotten it, read this article about a special reset service available in iOS 17 and higher. --> If you forget your new passcode, use your old passcode to unlock your iPhone or iPad within 72 hours - Apple Support



Click here and follow the instructions. Restoring the iPhone requires plugging it into a computer with iTunes or Devices installed, or a Mac running Catalina or newer.
