RE: messed up my password
I did this exact thing earlier this summer. I was totally locked out. Apple Accessibility was no help really. He told me that he could walk me through the process if I had iTunes, but I had never backed up to iTunes and didn’t have access to this from where I was calling. I ended up going into an Apple store and had a great experience with a technician there. I knew my photos were backed up to iCloud, but I wasn’t sure about the rest. I had resigned myself to thinking I could lose a lot. As it turned out, she completely wiped my phone and reinstalled the IOS. Then she connected to iCloud and, thankfully, found that pretty much everything was backed up there. So, I highly recommend just going into an Apple store with your Apple ID and having them do the process for you.

RE: messed up my password
You should call Apple Accessibility, if you have really changed your PIN to unlock your phone and don’t know what it is you are in pretty deep trouble and the phone will need to be completely reset. If you have Find my iPhone turned on this needds to be turned off first and if you can’t get into your phone it has to be done via the iCloud website which is ot the most accessible. To set or change your PIN you first have to enter the existing PIN in order to access the Touch Id and Password area in Settings, then even if you didn’t have a PIN before and you turned this on you would have had to correctly enter and re-enter a PIN.
