Are you sure it is not Stolen Device Protection?

It may even be jail broken if it has open source apps.

Did you mean password or phone passcode?


In any event I would put it in Recovery Mode using a Computer. Any data not backed up or in iCloud or similar will be lost.

If you can't update or restore your iPhone or iPod touch – Apple Support (UK)

No I purchased it new. And I’ve taken it to the AT&T store and they just told me there’s nothing wrong with it, but I can’t change my Apple password, but somehow I’m still able to get into my apple account with Face ID. And I’ve done tons of research on how to shut down the developer mode, but this phone doesn’t seem to have that option
