I need help getting into my ihpone

I was using my phone like usual and it kept glitching out, then I shut it off completely and restarted it. when I went to enter my password it said incorrect, I tried again it didn't work and now im locked out. I know I had the right password so why is it not working.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

No one can answer “why”, but the glitching sounds like a hardware problem. You will have to erase the phone and reset your password.


If your iPhone has iOS 15.2 or later installed, check out this link→How to reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when you forgot your passcode - Apple Support. Otherwise:


See this Apple support link→If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support

Or watch this companion video ⬇️


After restoring the phone using one of the methods above you can restore your most recent backup.
