I forgot my passcode

I changed my passcode, but have forgotten it. I am locked out to where it says "Iphone unavailable". How do I get in?

iPhone 12, iOS 15

The ONLY option now it to completely reset (erase) the phone and restore from a backup.

Knowledge of the AppleID and password is required; as is another trusted device (on the same AppleID) or else access to a trusted number to receive the 2FA Verification Code.

Note that if the iOS is prior to 15.2, a computer and a cable will ADDITIONALLY be required to perform the steps linked near the end of the article.
