Unfortunately, you cannot get "back in" the phone. You must erase / reset the phone and then set it up again. If you have a current backup, you can use that during the new setup to make the phone look just like it did before you forgot the passcode.


If you see an iPhone or iPad unavailable message or Security Lockout screen - Apple Support
