I understand that you are locked out of your iPhone. You will have to reset the passcode to your iPhone by following the instructions in this guide published by Apple ðŸ‘‰ If you see a iPhone, iPad, or Apple Vision Pro unavailable message or Security Lockout screen.  Note: All the data on your iPhone will be erased.


Hopefully, you have a backup created on ðŸ‘‰ iCloud and/or on a computer. If you do then, you can ðŸ‘‰ Restore your iPhone from the backup file once your passcode has been reset and the iPhone has been returned to factory settings by the procedure in the link above.
