Passcode in null

This is the most annoying feature ever. Millions of people have kids that input the wrong passcode of maybe the passcode got entered too many times while the phone was in your pocket. Apple should let me input my passcode more than 10 times before going to this radical way of having to delete the phone. I DO NOT HAVE A BACKUP... I DO NOT HAVE TIME TO CREATE BACKUP every single second.... I just want to restore the phone with the passcode I have... no apple is not letting me do it! Who design this software for good sake!

Wait for an hour to see if the screen will change to allow you to enter your passcode.

If no luck, your only option at this point is to tap Erase and then set the phone up again. If you have a recent backup, you can use that during the set up process.

If your iPhone is running iOS 15.2 or higher........(it appears that it might be).......you can use the instructions linked just below which will not require the use of a Mac or PC:

If you are not sure which operating system is installed on your iPhone, please use the link below, which will require the use of a Mac or PC.

If you have a backup of the phone, you can use the backup to restore the data on the phone during the new setup.

If you enter the wrong passcode on your iPhone Lock Screen too many times, an alert lets you know that your iPhone is disabled. (Learn what to do if you see "[Device] unavailable" or "Security Lockout" on your iPhone or iPad.)
