lock out of my phone with guided access on, nothing works.

I enabled guided access by accident and managed to lock my self out of my phone, I've tried to forced power lock my phone countless times and nothing works, I can't type in my passcode because the guided access restricts me from touching certain places I have school in 4 days someone please help I don't want to have to restart my iPhone.

iPhone 11

Try and Force Restart your iPhone EXACTLY as shown below and see whether that resolves the issue:

  • Press and quickly release Volume UP button
  • Press and quickly release Volume DOWN button
  • Press and Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears and then release the Side button (Can take up to 20 seconds. (DO NOT release Side Button when invited to Slide Power OFF).
