my locked iphone 8 security lock

my iPhone 8 last night must have updated and now it’s requiring a pass word which I put in but it’s not taking it so I’m locked out for 3 hours.




iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 16

Troubleshooting a Locked iPhone:


Hold it Right There!


Being Locked Out...

Enter the passcode incorrectly too many times, and you'd likely be locked out for good. So, hold it right there, and refer to this link: If you Forgot the Passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is Disabled - Apple Support. It would be the one you've always entered. If you do not know it, then look for it in a location you may have stored it in.


No Success?

If you cannot get the above link to work, then contact Apple Support.
