You create the passcode yourself when setting up the phone.


After that you MUST remember it.


There is no means to “recover” it, you can only reset the phone - which completely erases it - and restore from a backup.


You WILL need your AppleID and password.

Note: If running iOS prior to 15.2, you’ll additionally need a cable and a computer to follow the instructions linked near the bottom of the article.
