Your Apple ID and your iPhone lock code are not related to each other; you need to restore your iPhone if it is disabled. If your device 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.
