The passcode and FaceID didn’t change themselves.


Perhaps “someone else” has passcode and/or FaceID access to your device … ??? 🤔


Regardless …


If you can’t determine the current passcode, your ONLY option is to reset the device and restore from a backup.


If you see an iPhone or iPad unavailable message or Security Lockout screen – Apple Support (AU)


Going forward, suggest consider changing your device Passcode AND AppleID password AND resetting your FaceID.


Also, review your AppleID at https://appleid.apple.com/ to verify that there are no “unknown” Devices or Trusted Numbers listed.
