Is there any way to reset passcode when the iPhone is locked?

Hi!


So, here's the deal: I have iPhone 13 for work and I don't use it very often. Today, I wanted to use it and surprisingly discovered that I do not remember my passcode and cannot access this phone 🤡


It was obviously turned off the entire time because the battery was empty. Now, I have iPhone with full battery, but cannot do anything with it because

1) I do not remember the passcode;

2) the SIM card is locked;

3) the "Find my..." function is not active.


Is there anything I can do about it? I don't care about data loss.


Thanks in advance for your advices!

If you forgot the passcode, the only way past that is to erase the device and restore iOS.

Follow the instructions here: If you forgot your iPhone passcode or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support


If the SIM is locked, you will need to contact your cellular carrier to get the SIM PIN or PUK code.
