Forgot passcode and Apple ID password

I was gone for 3 months and when I had access to my phone again I forgot my passcode to unlock the phone and when I went to erase it to bypass the passcode it turns out I’ve also managed to forget my Apple ID password… can’t seem to figure out what to do now.

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17
