Forgot Passcode
Hello, I forgot my passcode (because i use my fingerprint). Is there a way to recover my cell WITHOUT losing the data? I don´t have a backup :( Please help, i´m desperate. Thanks.
iPhone 8 Plus

You might normally use your fingerprint, but iOS will still require you to enter the passcode at least weekly - if not more often.
If you don’t have a backup, all of your phone’s onboard data will be lost during the phone’s reset.
With any luck, you might have had iCloud syncing “on” and/or iCloud backups “enabled.”🤞
Regardless, see:
If you see an iPhone or iPad unavailable message or Security Lockout screen - Apple Support
If you’re running an iOS prior to 15.2, follow the instructions linked near the bottom of the article.
