You either know and correctly enter the passcode … or you don’t get “in.”


No “code recovery,” remote authentication, or other workarounds exist.


The ONLY alternative is to Reset (completely erase) the phone and Restore from a backup.


(A process for which you’ll need knowledge of your AppleID credentials as well)
