There are two conditions. Unavailable or Disabled after entering the wrong passcode too many times. If Unavailable, see this --> If you see a iPhone, iPad, or Apple Vision Pro unavailable message or Security Lockout screen - Apple Support


But if the phone is saying disabled, you have no choice other than to fully erase the phone using a computer by following the directions in this link --> If you forgot your iPhone passcode or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support


Any data which was not already backed up or synced with iCloud will be lost. Backups must be done before something goes wrong.
