Apple does not remember your passcode, that is up to you.


If your forgot your passcode, you will need to erase/reset the phone and then set it up again.


If your iPhone is running iOS 15.2 or higher........you can use the instructions linked just below:

If these instructions do not work........please use the instructions linked below, but note that you must use a PC or Mac.

If you have a backup of the phone, you can use the backup to restore the data on the phone during the new setup.
