Locked out of my iPhone - It's not accepting the correct password

I got my screen protector changed by a 3rd party around 2 weeks ago. I woke up yesterday morning and typed in my usual password I've been using for months. I type it in, and strangely it declines.

I kept trying and trying, and eventually I racked up the denies so many times that yesterday it got locked for 8 whole hours. It got off that disabled screen today, so I went to Verizon. They told me there was nothing they could do and my only option was to go to the apple store.

I went to the apple store, showed proof of purchase, logged into my apple ID on the macbook I brought to prove it even further, and they suggested that I erase all the content on my phone. I refuse to accept this, the stuff I have on my phone is very important to me.

Keep in mind, my iCloud storage is full, and its been that way for years so even if I reset my phone and sync it to iCloud it'll be completely useless. I tried plugging the phone into my Macbook, didn't work. Tried connecting it to a PC, didn't work. Everyone is telling me the only option is to just completely erase my phone.

The day I woke up to my phone being broken was the same day I got the most brutal fever ever. I've been having to travel around hot ass Florida with a stuffed nose, horrible headache, and feeling terrible. Doing it with no help of a phone as well since I obviously can't get in it.

If anyone knows any tech gurus in the florida area that can help, or any information at all, please help me. Genuinely the worst few days of my life. I'll do whatever it takes.

On the ride back, I saw my EXACT passcode on some dudes truck. Some weird ass phenomenon.

This all happened the day I was supposed to pin my testosterone btw. I'm so fucking mad

The password didn’t change. You most likely forgot or misplaced a number after your fever. Something similar happened to me until I finally remembered.

You can connect your phone to iTunes on your computer, and there should be an option that lets you reset your passcode.
