Try very hard to remember the passcode.


If you cannot remember the passcode, your only option is to reset / erase the phone and then set it up again with a new passcode.


If you have a recent backup of the phone, you can use that to restore the phone.

Might be a good idea to write down the new passcode and keep it in a safe place.

Right-click on the the link, and then copy and paste it in your address bar. Then, press return. 403 is an error that is popping up within the last 8 or so hours on these forums.
