Iphone SE 4 digit passcode

Hello, I have just bought a new iPhone SE and it seems to have a preset 4 digit code, does anyone know what the reset is please, or is it somewhere in the setup guide? I have tried 0000 but that doesn't work, I would like to change the code to my own setting that I can remember. I have tried 2 obvious numbers but these have been rejected and I am not keen to local myself out of my phone! Can anyone help please.

Many thanks for any advice

A brand new, out of the box iPhone does not have a preinstalled passocde. You have to set the code during the activation process. In any event, if you cannot access the code, the only way to unlock it is by restoring as new.

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

Where, exactly, did you buy the "new" iPhone SE?

As has already been stated, there is no preset code... If you turned it on for the first time and it's asking for a passcode, return it. It is not new.
