Passcode

If I enter the wrong passcode in 7 times to unlock my phone does the passcode attempts reset back to 0 after I enter the right passcode?

An iPhone will disable for 1 minute after six failed passcode attempts in a row. The seventh incorrect passcode attempt will lock you out for 5 minutes, the eighth attempt for 15, and the tenth for an hour.


Then you can unlock your iPhone, follow the steps described in the Apple article:

(< iOS 15.2) ->: If you forgot your iPhone passcode

If you forgot your iPhone passcode - Apple Support

 

(iOS 15.2 or iPadOS 15.2 and newer) If you see an iPhone or iPad unavailable message or Security Lockout screen

If you see an iPhone or iPad unavailable message or Security Lockout screen - Apple Support


If you forget your iPhone passcode again, the passcode attempts reset back to 0.
