Unfortunately, you don't have a choice.

If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled or unavailable -


Click on the link for instructions on how to reset your passcode without a computer if you have iOS 15.2 or higher.

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

Updating an iPhon 12 Mini:

Try using a computer, setting if you don't get the same prompt. Another option is to use Cellular, as long as 5G is available in your area.

Use my User Tips:

Report back if either of these works...


IMPORTANT:

Backup Prior to Updating:

IMPORTANT: If you have an option to update, however, then be certain you backup your iPhone first. That way, you will have something to restore your iPhone from should anything go wrong with the update
