Passcode not working after 16.5.1 iOS update

Woke up this morning to find both faceid and passcode are not being recognized. Tried using my watch to unlock, tried several times with faceid and the CORRECT passcode (which didn't change overnight!)....and now faced with the 1-hour lock screen. I know the 16.5.1 update was pushed out last night and automatically updated....and can only think this is what caused it.

Anyone facing similar issues? How do I get into my phone?!?!

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

My apologies! You're right. You'll have to put your iPhone into recovery mode and restore it that way by following these steps: If you forgot your iPhone passcode - Apple Support.

What if you don’t have a pc, notebook, Mac etc; ? All I have is a my Iphone, IPad and Apple Watch. I reset my passcode and now it won’t take the new one or the old one. I reset it again and got the same results. I’m beyond frustrated. I haven’t been able to use my phone for 4 days now. I don’t know what else to do.
