I have forgotten my Iphone 11 IOS 16.0 passcode, have 3 more attempts left and have no back-up, still, i have acces to my apple Id and password.
Anyone facing the same situation as me that managed to reset or bypass passcode and keep their data? Can i maybe back up the device now? I have backed up my device in the past using itunes, yet currently I have no back up on itunes.
Unfortunately, it's already too late to back up the iPhone.
When you run out of passcode attempts, the phone will lock you out with an "Unavailable" screen message.
At that point, your only option will be to erase / reset the phone and then set it up again. Data on the phone will be lost.

Painful lesson. Might be a good idea to write down your new passcode and keep it in a safe place. Good idea to back up at least once a week, or use iCloud and back up automatically each day so this will not happen again.

Troubleshooting a Locked iPhone:
Seems you have a locked iPhone. So, contact Apple Support. Refer to the following...
Hold It Right There!:
Enter the passcode incorrectly too many times, and you'd likely be locked out for good. So, hold it right there, and refer to this link: If you Forgot the Passcode on your iPad, or your iPad is Disabled - Apple Support. It would be the one you've always entered. If you do not know it, then look for it in a location you may have stored it in.
Being Locked Out...
Have any Proof of Purchase?
Unless you have the original packaging and receipt, you may be out of luck. If you do have it, however, then take this to an Apple Store, or an AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider)! and they may be able to restore it. The reason for this blockage is all about Security & Privacy.

You are welcome.
Some Notes:
I have the original packaging and the receipt, and I know my apple id and password, I even know the numbers of the phone passcode, but i seem to have forgotten the right sequence for it. So that means i have a chance of keeping my data after the passcode recovery? Keeping the data is the most important thing, since I have memories that unfortunately are stored on the phone exclusively.
God, I swear I'm going to get icloud and make backups from now on. Thanks for your time&really appreciate your help!
