I don’t have a computer to hook my IPhone to, will my IPad work

I don’t have a computer to hook my IPhone to, will my IPad work.

I forgot my log in passcode now my phone is trying to reset itself.

What do I need to do?

According to Apple.......IF......your iPhone has iOS 15.2 or higher installed, you don't need a computer to reset the iPhone. You have indicated that the iPhone was on iOS 14 in your profile, but perhaps you have updated past that.

I have not tested this out though. If things still don't work......or your iPhone is not running 15.2 or higher, you will need to use the computer method.
