Forgot my iPhone passcode

Hello jatavia160!

I am sorry to hear about your unfortunate luck: forgetting your iPhone passcode. To learn what to do next, please see: If you forgot your iPhone passcode - Apple Support.

I hope this is helpful. Good Luck!

Think real hard about the password to see if you can hopefully remember it. Otherwise, you must reset / erase the phone and then set it up all over again. You will lose all of the data on the phone when you do this.

If you have a recent backup of the phone, you can use that to restore the phone so it will look like it did before the password was forgotten.

Since you are running iOS 16 on your phone, you do not need to use a computer to reset the phone.....use the information in this Apple Support document:

If you prefer to use a computer for this, then you can use the information in this document:
