After 8 hours have elapsed, you will be given another opportunity to enter your passcode. If you continue to enter an incorrect passcode(s), then the iPhone will be disabled or will become unavailable. If you have forgotten the passcode or your iPhone has been disabled, then you will have to reset the passcode to your iPhone by following the instructions in this guide published by Apple 👉 Reset the Passcode of your iPhone (Without a Computer).  Note: 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.
