The phone is permanently locked after the 10th failed log on attempt. You will need to reset / erase the phone at this point and then set it up again.

If your iPhone is running iOS 15.2 or higher........you can use the instructions linked just below:

If your iPhone is not running iOS 15.2 or higher........please use the instructions linked below, but note that you must use a PC or Mac.

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