People who own an iPhone 13 will usually protect the information on the device by setting up a lock screen passcode as a strong layer of security for sensitive data. However, forgetting the iPhone passcode may occur sometimes, and you may end up with an iPhone Unavailable screen due to multiple times of wrong passcode entry attempts. In that regard, you'll have to unlock your iPhone 13 without the passcode by restoring it to factory settings.
Resetting is the only choice for you to unlock the iPhone without knowing the passcode. Note that you will be at the risk of losing your data if you didn't back it up before, as the passcode along with all the data will get erased after the reset. So hopefully you have a backup previously.
Several ways are offered here to assist you in unlocking your iPhone 13 without the passcode or Face ID, which include Erase iPhone, Find My and an effective third-party passcode erasure tool iPhone Unlocker. You can choose a method that seems the best to you.
