I understand that you are referring to the passcode that is used to get to the Home Screen of your iPhone. You will have to reset the passcode to your iPhone by following the instructions in this guide published by AppleĀ 👉Ā Ā If you forgot the passcode or if your iPhone has been disabled.Ā You will need a computer to execute this procedure andĀ all the data on your iPhone will be erased.


Hopefully, you have a backup created onĀ 👉Ā iCloud and/or on a computer.Ā If you do then, you canĀ 👉Restore your iPhone from the backupĀ file once your passcode has been reset and the iPhone has been returned to factory settings by the procedure in the link above.


If your iPhone or iPad has iOS 15.2 or higher installed, then review this guide published by AppleĀ 👉How to remove your iPhone passcode without a computer
