can i remotely backup my iphone x while its in security lockout?

i changed my password and forgot it, now I have to erase its contents and use a backup, but its a couple days old. Can I back it up again while its on security lockout? I tried connecting it to my computers but it doesn't come up. Can i do it remotely through icloud.com or elsewhere?

No. You'll need to reset and restore the device.

Recovering data from an iphone12 that is security locked via recovery mode My iphone12 ProMax is security locked. Some data is backed-up in iCloud but not all. Can an iPhone that is security locked be placed into recovery mode and if so. By using “update” rather than restore, is it possible to unlock the phone and gain access again to the data - does it give another opportunity to enter the password to unlock it?
