Phone locked, won't let me use my code, think I'm going crazy with the wrong code. Incoming calls from my contact list are not showing the correct name of caller. How can I get back into my phone? It was charging all night and still has the same error message. I tried to connect to my Apple computer but it will not sync.
iPhone 11, iOS 15
You can sometimes remedy this without a computer if on iOS 15.2 or later by tapping on "erase iPhone" , but you will still need the Apple ID password. It will WIPE the phone, no choice!

Taking backups regularly before disaster strikes was the way to go.

Try a hard restart --> If your iPhone won't turn on or is frozen - Apple Support. After that then try connecting it to your computer and see if it will unlock.
That will not free a locked or disabled phone
Sorry! I thought they meant they couldn't physically type in the pass-code. No, a hard restart won't unlock it. LD150's answer is the right one.
Yes assuming the phone is actually locked. Could be frozen.
Worth a try, don't apologise!
