Erased my entire phone accidentally

I apparently did not have anything in icloud. When I try to set up it is asking me to enter the code for my iPad. When I enter it it tells me it is wrong. I know it isn’t because I used the same code to unlock both the phone and the iPad. So now I can’t get any further in my set up

iPhone 13, iOS 16

Change the Passcode:

Having entered this incorrectly, you now have a locked iPad. So, refrain from touching it for a day, and then use this link: If you Forgot the Passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is Disabled - Apple Support


Contact Apple support:

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

Apple Contact Info:

  • Contact Us - Choose Locations
  • Proceed from there, as necessary
  • Why the Wait: Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due to lots of calls. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get through.
