If you find you can’t sign in, reset your password, or receive verification codes, you can request account recovery ( How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple ID password - Apple Support ) to regain access to your account.

Note that there is a big difference between a passcode and password. It helps if you use the correct term for your situation.
