Apple has just updated my iOS last night and I cannot get into my phone as it doesn’t recognize my Activation lock password ??? Anyone have any suggestions?

Original Title: Recovery after updating.
iPhone 17 Pro, iOS 26
Was this iPhone possibly purchased used?
If you have a purchase receipt for this iPhone from Apple or an Apple authorized reseller, you can start an Activation Lock request:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/108934
If not, you will need that Apple Account password.
Activation Lock shows a hint about the account used. It usually shows the first letter, and the domain.
Is the partial email address shown on the Activation Lock Screen yours?
