I do not know my passcode for my iPhone 11

I do not know my passcode for my phone and now it is locked. I do not want to reset my phone and lose my information on the phone. How can I get my passcode?

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 14

The whole point of your passcode is that if you don't know it, you can't get the information on the phone. Of course you can't get the information off your phone without knowing the passcode. You can learn how to reset your iPhone here: If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support

Regarding your data, If…

  1. You have an iCloud or iTunes latest backup, then there is nothing to worry about. If not read more...
  2. You have synced your data to iCloud, then what you will get back is what you have synced to iCloud and uploaded to iCloud Drive; like the information that are synced and stored in iCloud are, Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Mail, Notes, Voice Memosshared photosiCloud Photos*, Health data, call history, and files you store in iCloud Drive. (*-If you had turned on iCloud Photos, your content is automatically stored in iCloud.)
  3. You have imported your Photos & Videos to Mac/PC then they are safely residing there on Mac/PC
  4. You have uploaded some of it to Cloud Drives using Files app (iCloud Drive, Google Drive, OneDrive, DropBox, Flickr, box, AmazonDrive, Adobe Creative Cloud etc). The data remains there.
  5. You have not backed up or do not have the latest backup, nor imported nor you have synced nor uploaded your data to cloud drives prior to the situation that you are in, then I am sorry, all your data is lost.
