Security Lockout on iPhone
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
This does not work.

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

As with any piece of computing technology, you need to back up your data before something goes wrong, not after.
Apple has made that brain-dead simple with iCloud backups.
Hello my bf iPhone say it’s security lockout and we put the right password in it but it’s not working and we try fingers print
Excellent point.
You can easily backup to your computer. Your excuse is nothing but that… an excuse.
This is some serious bullshit.

I always take asterisks very seriously. In fact, I find it quite upsetting when people pronounce the word "astrix". Very disrespectful.
i don’t know what to do now.
You have probably already figured out that you have two options:
1) Repair the phone
2) Buy a new phone
clever!
Do you know how to do this if it is on an iPad? This has happened to me and I rlly don’t want to erase my iPad as it has all my notes on it.
M phone is on security lock out what do I do
Did you do it?
What is outrageous is that you blame Apple for the fact that you apparently don’t consider your data important enough to back it up, either manually, or using the built-in automatic nightly backup.
RIGHT ON 1990SE30!
Apple needs to give users the ability to disable the security lockout function!!!
