How to Unlock 'Support Apple Com iPhone Passcode' Screen

 A few days ago, when I took my iPhone out of my pocket, it showed security locked with a "support.apple.com/iphone/passcode" URL. This meant that I was blocked from accessing the device, which was really frustrating. Luckily, I managed to remove the security lock from my iPhone at home by following the solution provided by Apple's official and some other guides. Therefore, I have compiled this experience and I hope this information will be useful for you.

Understanding Causes:

Your device screen displays an "iPhone unavailable warning, and a support.apple.com/iphone/passcode link," which is a security measure. After a failed passcode attempt (usually six), your device enters a secure lockdown mode to protect your data from unauthorized access.

The maximum number of chances to enter an incorrect passcode is 10, and then your iPhone is completely locked.  Even if this is because you forgot to lock the screen and accidentally entered the wrong number, there is no way to undo it. Apple's strict security measures accept no explanation.
