iPhone 11 not unlocking

I have an iPhone 11, which I got in August, I have changed my passcode on it recently, but I changed it back to the original one and it was working. About a day later, my passcode will not unlock the phone. This happened before back in early October, but I got it open after 3 failed attempts from putting the right passcode (I put the right passcode in every time). I have the phone currently powered off, which was recommended online. Any other ways that can insure it to unlock?

iPhone 11, iOS 16

I don’t know of any other way to unlock an iPhone except with a Passcode, Touch ID or Face ID.


I understand that you are referring to the passcode that is used to get to the Home Screen of your iPhone. You will have to reset the passcode to your iPhone by following the instructions in this guide published by Apple 👉 How to remove your iPhone passcode without a computer  Note that all the data on your iPhone will be erased.


Hopefully, you have a backup created on 👉 iCloud and/or on a computer. If you do then, you can 👉Restore your iPhone from the backup file once your passcode has been reset and the iPhone has been returned to factory settings by the procedure in the link above.
