Can’t update iOS because asking for passcode

Tried to update my iOS on iPhone 11 and it is asking for a passcode. Why? In past I entered my Apple ID.


I don’t have a passcode or at least don’t remember setting one up.


also, when I text anyone the texts go through silently...no alerts. Figured it was a bug in iOS, hence my wanting to update.


thanks

Here is how to reset a forgotten passcode ➡️ If you forgot the passcode on your iPad, or your iPad is disabled - Apple Support


This is the same passcode that is used to access the device when it restarts, and every couple of days when Face ID wants the passcode again.
