My phone is locked

I resented my phone and my my phone has locked and it says iPhone unavailable with no timer underneath after I cleared the whole phone. How do I fix this? And if I go to a shop to get it all cleared will it be a working phone again?

iPhone XS Max

If your device has iOS 15.2 or later installed, you can reset it without a computer; check out this link→How to reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when you forgot your passcode - Apple Support. Otherwise you will need a computer:

See this Apple support link→If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support

Or watch this companion video ⬇️



After restoring the phone using one of the methods above you can restore your most recent backup.
