Hi everyone, this noon I changed my passcode and minutes later I realized that I forgot what I put. I know my Apple ID and password. Several attempts tried phone is on security logout stage for & hours. P.s I have another device logged in with same Apple ID.
how to restore my passcode without erasing data. I am really heartbroken to lose my photos. Please help me.
iPhone 12, iOS 16
Unfortunately if you have a forgotten/unknown device passcode, or have a disabled device (device unavailable or lockout screen), you have no option but to erase the device. However, you can eventually restore the data and settings from a backup you made before the device was disabled. If you end up having to use a computer and you do not have one, borrow one from a friend, or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider. You can also use a PC with iTunes. You will likely also need your Apple ID and password. All Apple mobile devices follow the same general procedure but the link below and other links off it provide system and model specific instructions:
