Inability to Access IPhone 8 due to a forgotten password.

Hello,

Two days ago I reset my phone's password and forgot the password I reset it to a few hours later. In the attempt to regain access to my phone, I have attempted to do the hard reset with no success. When I connect my phone to the laptop and to itunes, my phone does not show up on the app and therefore, I am unable to process with the reset. I would love if there was a way to surpass this.


Thank you.

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 14
