My iPhone says "Security Lockout" and won't let me enter a password to get in; how do I open my phone without erasing it?
iPhone XR, iOS 15
I woke up this morning to see the Security lockout my iphone, even without attempting any wrong passwords, if my iPhone had disabled for 5 minutes to 1 hour as usual I don't think this should've occurred, I think this is a malfunction

Nightly backups, even weekly backups are not always possible. A lot of us work and play in the wild.
So you never have a Wi-Fi connection, or a cellular 5G connection (iPhone 12, 13, 14 or SE 3rd edition) for weeks at a time for automatic backups? Then you need a local SD card backup device.
The only way to do that would be to add a “back door” to security, something that the FBI has been demanding that Apple do for many years. And other law enforcement agencies and repressive governments. As well as hackers who would quickly figure out how to take advantage of the “feature” that you want. Doing that would be opening Pandora’s box, and essentially kill any ability to have your data private.
Hello ~ If that were the case I would rid myself of my iPhone immediately and go back to using a landline. That’s exactly why I have an Apple iPhone. I backup my iPhone every single night and keep careful attention to making sure it’s done. I keep my device updated and locked. I do my part and Apple certainly does theirs. I agree with Mr. Finch it’s outrageous to blame Apple.

If anyone knows how to get in the iPhone on lockout please help I have photos on there I need of my father whom passed my granddaughter kept playing with the camera and somehow locked me out I’m assuming touching the numbers on the keypad because she just smirked when I asked she’s 5 it’s my own fault for leaving it out so I deserve the smirk

Replace your screen at an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Center.
Happened with my iPad too
It was just in my bag for the night and this morning it was on security lockout screen
The only possibility is that it was still connected to my wireless keyboard
