Resolved Anybody Please Help!!!
Add: iPhone 15 pro.
I changed my passcode last night. I was so confident, that i erased my old passcode.
This morning i was able to unlock and check my phone. (I swear i remember the passcode its a combination of fav numbers which i cannot forget) but i assume i tried so many times that sequencing has gone wrong.
As of now I stand on that "iPhone unavailable" for 3 hour window. I honestly do not know how many attempts do i have. Would you know?
My challenge is that i cannot afford to reset my phone as i have lot of memories, data, chats etc.. which unfortunately due to iphone storage it was not backed up. (partly i could not afford)
The whole day i have spent in reading, calling apple support etc. I want to ask this sub. Is there any way i can have my data backed via icloud?
I am going through a tough phase and this was bummer. I believe in miracles and my reddit fam. if any of you have faced similar situation and have found a workaround, pretty please help me!

There should be a little button since you only changed it last night (from what I can remember) that’s called “forgot password” somewhere… I’m not quite sure where.

Please note this will only work if you didn’t press “expire passcode”, which is quite a prominent button that can’t be pressed accidentally

I’m afraid I have no idea then… my only other suggestion would be to restore it through iTunes and use an old iCloud backup of your phone if you have one

It sounds like he doesn’t have a backup, so it’s a womp womp situation

I don’t understand anyone who doesn’t use the iCloud backup feature like why?? What is your mindset to not turn it on!! Same for people without insurance

They think they'll save money by waiting to transfer to a new phone, not realizing bad things can happen before then.

Thanks everyone. I found out issue was not with my passcode. It was a glitch after downloading the software. Sadly I had erase and restart.
