Surely you have not forgotten your passcode since you likely use it multiple times each day.


Perhpaps you are trying to unlock a used phone that you may have purchased or trying to help a friend out with their phone?


In any case, if you really don't know the passcode, you will need to erase the iPhone and set it up again with a new passcode. This will reset everything on the iPhone.


Then, during the new setup of the iPhone, you can restore the data back to your iPhone using your current backup on iCloud or a computer.

Beat in mind the Restore process in the link needs the Apple Account password to set it up again, so if this is a phone you just bought then it cannot be restored unless you know the previous user.
