Original Title: I know my passcode
iPhone 14 Plus
An iPhone will be disabled or indicate that it is unavailable if an incorrect Passcode is entered (either by you or someone else) too many times.
A forgotten or unknown iPhone passcode cannot be recovered - and neither can it be reset or modified from another device. If you see a waiting period you can wait and try again to input the correct Passcode; otherwise, the iPhone must be restored.
