After updating iPhone to iOS 17, some users have encountered the notification, saying 'support.apple.com/iphone/passcode.' If you are one of them, welcome to the right place to learn how to fix the Support Apple iPhone Passcode and why it appears.

Why iPhone Says 'support.apple.com/iphone/passcode'

If you have the message 'support.apple.com/iphone/passcode' on your lock screen, it means that you have entered the wrong passcode so many times that your iPhone is locked and not available for a period of time. Therefore, support.apple.com/iphone/passcode often comes together with 'iPhone Unavailable,' especially when you accidentally have incorrect password attempts in a row or forget your iPhone passcode. What's more, speaking from iOS data safety, it is also a security measure that ensures your iPhone is not accessible to untrusted persons, strangers, or even theft.

Each user has at most ten attempts in total, and you can't increase the number of attempts. After the fifth incorrect passcode entry, your iPhone will be locked with a timer, and the more failed passcode attempts, the longer period of time you have to wait:

• ⏱️After the sixth unsuccessful attempt, iPhone unavailable, try again in 1 minute;
• ⏱️After the seventh unsuccessful attempt, iPhone unavailable, try again in 5 minutes;
• ⏱️After the eighth unsuccessful attempt, iPhone unavailable, try again in 15 minutes;
• ⏱️After the ninth unsuccessful attempt, iPhone unavailable, try again in an hour;
• ⏱️After the tenth unsuccessful attempt, your iPhone is permanently locked.
