It is impossible to “recover” a passcode.


Your ONLY option is to reset the device (completely erasing it) and then restore from a backup as described in this article:


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


You WILL need your AppleID and password.


NOTE: If you’re running an iOS prior to 15.2, you’ll additionally need a computer and a cable to follow the instructions linked near the bottom of the article.
