If it has a passcode it is not factory reset.


Passcode Locked and Disabled phones you can use a  computer and the Apple ID password, but unfortunately it will wipe the phone

If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled

 Passcode locked iphone

In iOS 15.2 passcode Locked phones can be erased without a computer. After a few more wrong attempts it will lock. You need the AppleID password.  It will wipe the phone.
