I purchased this phone today and originally set the password to a four digit number that I have no idea what is what …. Had to end up doing some kind of reset to get into my phone because it was disabled

anyways it still is wanting the 4 digit code that I first set the phone with today . Is there anyway I could get the 4 digit number ?

iPhone 12, iOS 15

I understand that you are referring to the passcode that is used to get to the Home Screen of your iPhone. I also understand that your iPhone has been disabled. You will have to reset the passcode to your iPhone by following the instructions in this guide published by Apple 👉  If you forgot the passcode or if your iPhone has been disabled. You will need a computer to execute this procedure and all the data on your iPhone will be erased.

Hopefully, you have a backup created on 👉 iCloud and/or on a computer. If you do then, you can 👉Restore your iPhone from the backup file once your passcode has been reset and the iPhone has been returned to factory settings by the procedure in the link above.


If your iPhone or iPad has iOS 15.2 installed, then review this guide published by Apple 👉 How to reset your iPhone when you forgot the passcode
