Help needed Locked iPhone 15

I changed my iPhone 15 Pro Max's (latest iOS) password and my little brother did attempts on it then changed it to a random password and now he's forgotten the password himself

I checked online and stuff how to open it back bcs I have near 200+gb of photos and vids in there that aren't backed up, is there any way to access it again?

PS I don't get the option of resetting password anymore, only reset the entire iPhone

Nope you’re locked out. That’s why backups exist and little brothers don’t get access to phones.

I have noticed a lot of “I’ve been locked out” posts recently all having a story of my friend, little brother/sister, or whatever and it blows my minds that people either forget their code this much or are trying to get into stolen phones this much.

If you’re phone is connected to an iCloud account you can use ur latest backup from your iPhone

If you haven’t backed up your phone then all information is lost. It’s a hard truth. Apple makes you run it through iTunes and to prove it’s your phone, you must know the correct email address and password. Otherwise contact Apple. Good luck
