I recently had to factory reset my iPhone 11 due to an incorrect passcode and still having some issues:

Just after factory resetting my iPhone 11, it keeps asking for the old passcode. How to I bypass this?


I reset it due to not knowing the most recent passcode. I do know the one prior although, I do not have the most recent one.


Also, resetting my iPhone was complete chaos due to two factor authentication. Has anyone else had this issue?

Incorrect Process:

Erase All Content and Settings and use a new Passcode after the erase won't work because it will ask you for the old passcode. You have only one option read below


Correct Process

If one had attempted unlocking multiple times with incorrect Lock Screen passcode, or if a message says that the device is disabled, learn what one needs, what one gets, and what is lost.


You need a computer to follow these steps. If you don't have a computer, borrow one from a friend.
