URGENT QUESTION !

If you forgot your passcode and its disabled, are you able to sign into another device ? wouldn't it make you put that same passcode in the new device bringing you back to square one ?

Passcode is nothing to do with iCloud. It’s the code you use to unlock a device you’ve already set up for use. Like the combination on a safe. You set it up on the device in question and it works only on that device. It isn’t stored anywhere (except in your memory or if you’ve written it down). A passcode cannot be used to open devices other than the one it was set on - though you can set up the same passcode on different devices if you want to.
