Hey wahid282,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We know your data is important, but to approve your device you will need to enter the requested passcode. A bit more information about this can be found here: iCloud data security overview - Apple Support
About end-to-end encrypted data
End-to-end encrypted data can be decrypted only on your trusted devices where you’re signed in with your Apple ID. No one else can access your end-to-end encrypted data — not even Apple — and this data remains secure even in the case of a data breach in the cloud. If you lose access to your account, only you can recover this data, using your device passcode or password, recovery contact, or recovery key.
We recommend reaching out to Apple Support to look into this more with you. They can be reached here: Contact - Official Apple Support
Take care!
confirm your iphone passcode
