how do I unlock my iphone that is in locked state after bad password attempts

I forgot the password that I recently changed and gave all attempts until it completely got locked. I have apple id that is connected with my iphone and its IMEI number if that helps.

iPhone 11, iOS 16

If your device has iOS 15.2 or later installed, you can reset it without a computer; check out this link→How to reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when you forgot your passcode - Apple Support. Otherwise you will need a computer:

See this Apple support link→If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support

Or watch this companion video ⬇️



After restoring the phone using one of the methods above you can restore your most recent backup.
