Call an Emergency Number: Type 112 or 911 and close the call immediately.
Reboot and Unlcok: Turn Off the screen and immediately turn it on, then try to unlock again.
The exploit used in this case is based on a flaw that was present in older versions of iOS (specifically, versions 6.1 and earlier) that permitted features to be accessed without the need for entering a passcode.
Limitations of the Method
It is supported: But, with all the exceptions this can be done on some of the old iPhones running IOS upto certain versions. This vulnerability is no longer working with newer iOS updates being protected and patched (minimum for devices running iOS 14).
Data Loss Risk: This can cause temporary or permanent data loss, especially since the device will automatically become disabled after a certain number of passcode attempts.

Therefore, any attempt to unlock your phone should be done through an official method such as iTunes or iCloud, or using some of this specialized software.
