I changed my passcode and then forgot it. I have tried to enter what I thought the new one was but it is incorrect. The last time I tried, it was an hour wait to re-try.
What can I do to rectify and get back into the phone?
iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 16

Troubleshooting a Locked iPhone:
Hold it Right There!
Being Locked Out...
Enter the passcode incorrectly too many times, and you'd likely be locked out for good. So, hold it right there, and refer to this link: If you Forgot the Passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is Disabled - Apple Support. It would be the one you've always entered. If you do not know it, then look for it in a location you may have stored it in.
No Success?

Unfortunately, if you can’t remember your passcode, your ONLY option is to reset (erase) your phone, set it up anew, and restore from a backup.
