Hmm... This is crazy ironic. I just had the exact same issue with my iPhone 6s about 40 minutes ago. I've been using the same passcode for a long time. In addition, I worked at the Apple Store so there's no way I'd forget my passcode! Maybe it's a iOS/firmware software issue. Unfortunately, there's no way around it and the fix is not the greatest. You have to erase your device via iTunes & restore any backup available.


If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support


You want to scroll halfway down and follow the directions for "Erase your device with recovery mode"


Good Luck!


P.S. Right now, I'm restoring my iPhone 6s. I feel your pain.
