iPhone Disabled by Toddler - Help!

My 2 yr old son has disabled my daughter's iPhone, is there any way to get back into it without having to take it into a shop? I know the passcode but it no longer gives me the option to use it. iPhone SE Version: iOS 15.8

iPhone SE, 15

You don’t have to take it into a shop, and if you did all they would do is follow the instructions below, which you can do yourself:


If your device has iOS 15.2 or later installed, you can reset it without a computer; check out this link→How to reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when you forgot your passcode - Apple Support. Otherwise you will need a computer:

See this Apple support link→If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support

Or watch this companion video ⬇️



After restoring the phone using one of the methods above you can restore your most recent backup.
