Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

My iPhone asked me to choose a different passcode and allowed me to enter a 7-digit passcode. Now I am trying to provide that 7-digit passcode while setting up a new phone, but is does not let me enter any 7-digit passcode as is requests old passcode

My iPhone asked me to choose a different passcode and allowed me to enter a 7-digit passcode. Now I am trying to provide that 7-digit passcode while setting up a new phone, but is does not let me enter any 7-digit passcode as is requests "Enter Passcode for Other iPhone". This is clearly a bug! Allowing users to choose a 7-digit passcode when the passcode becomes too old, and then not allowing to enter a 7-digit Passcode when at the setup of a new phone you ask the user "Enter Passcode for Other iPhone"...

What to do?

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 15

If you see an option to reset encrypted data, several people have posted that they did that and lost little to no data.
