I have an backup iPhone 11 Pro and I forgot the screen passcode. It is a 6-digit password and I old remember the first 3 digits. Now, the device is disabled after too many failed tries. Is there any way to unlock iPhone without passcode? I heard it is possible to reset the iPhone by reinstalling the firmware.
Does your iPhone turn on Find my iPhone in iCloud?

Reinstalling iOS, yes. But that would wipe your phone.
If you have find my enabled, you can reset it there and have your data.
Grab a friend’s iPhone or iPad, open Find My, and sign in with your Apple ID. Tap Devices, pick your iPhone, swipe up, and hit Erase This Device. Once it’s wiped, just restore from your backup during setup—that’s how you unlock iPhone without passcode when you’ve got a backup ready.
