Hello Manzanapodrida23,


Thank you for posting to Apple Support Communities.


We understand you need to enter a passcode in order to update. Is that correct? Software updates contain security updates, new features, bug fixes, and improvements.


Apple has a couple great articles that help describe the updates to iOS 16 and can help you reset your forgotten passcode. Take a look:


About iOS 16 Updates - Apple Support

If you forgot your iPhone passcode - Apple Support


That should help. Let us know if you have any questions.


Take care.
