iPhone 8+ won’t recognise password

I’m unable to unlock my iPhone 8+ with my password. It keeps saying wrong password even though i haven’t changed it. I was even able to use my phone in the morning before it got locked.


I tried to reset by connecting to my computer. But that didn’t work. Someone please help.

The password couldn't change by itself, but since your password no longer works, you'll have to erase your phone using your home computer with iTunes, then you can restore from backup if you've been backing up.
