How to reset the phone password of an old phone, which I already reset it?

I have transferred all data from my previous iPhone XR to my current iPhone 12. Then, I reset/ cleared all the data from the iPhone XR but somehow I did setup the phone password. However, currently I forgot its password and cannot proceed setting up it for my mom.


Please help.

Thank you.

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Are you referring to the passcode that is used on the Lock Screen to get to the Home Screen? If this is the passcode that you have forgotten, then You will need to reset the passcode on the iPhone. You will need a computer to complete this task. You can reset your passcode by following the instructions in this article by Apple ➔ How to reset your passcode on a disabled iPhone. All your data on your iPhone will be wiped clean in the process.
