iPhone 6 not accepting my passcode

Hi. My 3 year old iPhone 6 is not accepting my passcode. I wanted to back it up but it asked me for my passcode and refused to accept my regular numerical one. What do I do? I want to check my stored data in my iCloud and restart it or whatever is the best option. Also, why did this happen?

iPhone 6, 12

I did not forget it. I’ve been using the same passcode since years. I wanted to back up iCloud because it was asking me to. I went to my back up settings and it strangely asked me to enter my passcode and refused to accept it. Then locked me out. It’s not disabled yet, I can see my texts and mails on my locked screen. Please help me restore it.
