Unfortunately, it’s already too late. 😕


Your only option is to reset and restore from a backup as described here:


If you see an iPhone or iPad unavailable message or Security Lockout screen – Apple Support (AU)


Note: If your old phone is running an iOS earlier than15.2, follow the additional instructions linked near the bottom of the article.
