I was asked by my phone to update my trusted phone number for my Apple ID. I went through the steps till I got to the screen to enter my phone passcode but wouldn’t let me pass from too many failed attempts. The code works from a power up but not for Apple ID. Why. I realize my phone is hacked. Is it done through my Apple ID? How do I correct this.
iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

I just tried to reset my phone number and it worked this time. I know I didn’t use the wrong passcode.
