Lost Iphone and I can't reach the location.

Hello everyone! I need some help here: Unfortunately I have lost my Iphone 2 days ago. The first thing was to check were my phone was by my husband's Iphone, but in those moments I panicked and didn't remember any password, and tried so many time and my account was blocked by apple.. When I tried to sing in my Icloud, the code I think appeared on the screen of my Iphone and the one who stolen turned off and the maybe the sim was removed from phone. Finally after 6 hours I was able to sing in my icloud and tried to find it but there was no location available and the phone is offline. I put the Iphone in lost mode, but it said that it will be on lost mode if the phone is connected to internet... There is any hope to recover it? Find my is on , but i don't remeber to put the last location or the other function with dead battery...Anyone experienced this? If the phone is connected to the internet, the location will appear? It is possible to hack the phone to his initial settings and remove my icloud account from it? This is so frustrating...I m so sad

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 17

Your phone cannot be reset and your data is safe. If a person tried to guess the Passcode 4 times it will lock. Of course, you would not have wanted a passcode such as 1111 that can be guessed. They will not be able to remove your device from iCloud and you should not do that either. Be aware of phishing attempts that you may get claiming that your phone was found and asking you to enter your AppleID/Password to view the location. This is a scam. If the phone does have an opportunity to connect to the internet or even if another iPhone is within bluetooth range, the location will be updated even if your phone is turned off.

If the thief wanted to prevent you from tracking it, they can remove the SIM card or even use faraday bags to prevent any internet access and you may never get your phone back, even though the phone will be unusable for them as well.

Thank you! The passcode is a combination of 4 digits but I don't think they will get it. I hope the phone will get somehow on internet connection...I have locked the upper bar do not show only with face Id... and the phone enter to the lost mode and show the contact number and my message. Actually the phone was lost, and the persone who found it didn't answer at my husband calls...when I tried to recover the password from icloud, the message with security code was sent on my number..that was the moment it was shut down and probably remove the SIM card...The police said to wait maybe we can find it by IMEI... It is a good think that is unusable for him, and I hope to find it...
