Locked iPhone after 10 times incorrect password

Hello everyone,


I forgot my password and entered the wrong password more than 10 times.

The iPhone is locked ☹


I know about the possibility of erasing all data and restoring the device, however, it is very valuable for me to have access to family photos stored on the phone, copies of which are not on other sorcses.


I know the icloud login and password, but it doesn't help.


Is there a way to restore access to my information on locked iPhone?


Thanks for the advice and answer.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15

Sorry, but no. If you think about it, if there were a way, anyone who might pick up your phone and walk away with it would have complete access to all of the data on your phone.


If you have a recent backup of the phone, you can use that to restore the phone back to normal after it is erased and set up again.


Might be a good idea to write down your passcode and keep in in your wallet or another safe place, so you can avoid another future "disaster".
