iphone password forgot

I changed my password on my iphone and now trying to log in today, it is saying "iphone unavailable"

Is the only way to use my phone is to reset the phone?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.1

If you have forgotten your iPhone Passcode, reseting it is your only option. This can be without a computer if your iPhone is on iOS 15.2 or higher. Otherwise, you will need to use a computer to erase your iPhone.


See the directions here --> If you forgot your iPhone passcode - Apple Support


Or, if you see the message your iPhone is unavailable --> if you see "[Device] unavailable" or "Security Lockout" on your iPhone or iPad
