    Hello cbs12,

     

    To make sure that we are on the same page, you have accidentally enabled VoiceOver and would like to turn it off. You can do that by triple clicking the Home button to enable and disable VoiceOver. To enter in your passcode on your iPhone, you will want to tap the number first to have it highlighted and then double tap to have that number entered in. Do that again for each number, tap the number and then double tap again until you entered in your passcode. Then navigate to Settings > General > Accessibility to toggle that option off. For more information, take a look at the article below.

     

    Use Accessibility features in iOS

    If you have Siri set to be accessible from the lock screen, try invoking Siri by pressing and holding the Home button then saying, "Turn off Voice Over".
