iPhone lockout
My phone recently locked me out for an unknown reason and it isn't recognizing my passcode. If I select the "erase iPhone" option will I lose everything on my device?
iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 16

Yes, you will lose everything on the phone. Hopefully, you made a backup you can restore from.
