I forgot my passcode

I can not access my phone. It seems that I choose the wrong passcode. Although I’m quite sure I insert the right one. But yet I can’t enter my phone. Does anyone know what to do? I even thought of buying more Cloud storage so that I wouldn’t lose my photos.

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 14

Hold It Right There!:

Enter the passcode incorrectly too many times, and you'd likely be locked out for good. So, hold it right there, and refer to this link: If you Forgot the Passcode on your iPad, or your iPad is Disabled - Apple Support. It would be the one you've always entered. If you do not know it, then look for it in a location you may have stored it in.


If locked out...

Have any Proof of Purchase?

Unless you have the original packaging and receipt, you may be out of luck. If you do have it, however, then take this to an Apple Store, or an AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider)! and they may be able to restore it. The reason for this blockage is all about Security & Privacy.
