How can I factory reset my locked iPhone 8?

Please follow one of these two articles to reset your passcode:

iPhone is running iOS 15.2 or later: If you see a iPhone, iPad, or Apple Vision Pro unavailable message or Security Lockout screen - Apple Support

iPhone is running an earlier iOS: If you forgot your iPhone passcode or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support

Click here and follow the instructions. Restoring the iPhone requires plugging it into a computer with iTunes or Devices installed, or a Mac running Catalina or newer.

If there's an option to erase it, you can use that instead.
