Bad news you may need to factory reset the phone, it depends on how many times it was entered wrong

Apple support guide here https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204306

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Pixel 7a (O2 & Lyca), One Plus 6 (Sfr), iPhone 12 Pro Max (Vodafone)
