How to bypass "Stolen Device Protection" for Face ID reset on iPhone 14 Pro Max?

It is an iPhone 14 Pro Max that I got just a week ago. It was working well until yesterday



[Re-Titled by Moderator]

Original Title: My face ID is not working and I am unable to reset it because stolen device protection is on. How do I resolve this? It had been working for about 6 days and stopped abruptly



iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 18

The only way to disable Stolen Device Protection is with Face ID; if there was any other way it would not provide stolen device protection. Follow this guidance→If Face ID is disabled on your iPhone or iPad Pro - Apple Support


If you got the phone new a week ago from Apple it is eligible for exchange for 14 days from purchase, and for repair for one year from purchase.
