How to bypass the passcode on an iPhone?

Recently, I forgot my passcode for iPhone and now find myself locked out of the device. It's quite distressing because I have numerous personal files, essential contacts, and important data stored on it. I desperately need to regain access to my iPhone as soon as possible.

So, my question is, does anyone have any suggestions or knowledge about potential methods to bypass the passcode on an iPhone?

There is really only one way to get in a phone if you have forgotten the passcode and that is to erase it using a computer and then restore it from backup after you get back in. There is no bypass for a forgotten passcode.

Assuming you have backed up your iPhone, you won't lose data. If you haven't backed up your iPhone, it's too late now and your data will be gone.

If your iPhone says it is disabled, follow the directions in this link --> If you forgot your iPhone passcode - Apple Support

If your iPhone says it is unavailable, follow the directions in this link --> If you see an iPhone or iPad unavailable message or Security Lockout screen - Apple Support
