Unlock my phone

My iPhone 11 has had an update and now wants me to sign in with a 6 digit code rather than the 4 digit one I usually use. I am therefore unable to access my phone and have been locked out. Can anyone help. My information is backed up with an old email which is now not active as I use a different one.

Note:

  • If you have lost your Lock Screen Passcode and have a backup then there is nothing to worry about.
  • If you have forgotten the Screen Time Passcode then restoring your device from a backup after the passcode reset will return the Passcode back to your device. So, please do not restore from a backup.
