Sorry, but once the phone is “locked” as you’ve described, any other previously-possible options are rendered irrelevant.


The ONLY path forward is a “Reset” (total device erasure) followed by a restoration from an available backup.


If you see an iPhone or iPad unavailable message or Security Lockout screen – Apple Support (AU)
