I'm using Iphone 14 pro max, with 16.4.1 iOS version, I forgot my screen lock passcode and I do not have icloud backup. I want to reset my screen passcode without erasing the iPhone. Has anyone done this before?
iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16
Resetting the screen lock passcode on an iPhone without erasing the device can be a challenging task. Unfortunately, as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, there is no known method or official way to reset the screen lock passcode without erasing the iPhone.
When you forget your screen lock passcode and do not have an iCloud backup, the most common solution is to perform a factory reset, which erases all data on the device. This is the only way to regain access to the iPhone.
However, there are a few things you can try before resorting to a factory reset:
It's important to note that any method or tool used to bypass the screen lock passcode without erasing the iPhone may have limitations or potential risks. It's always recommended to have regular backups of your data and to keep your passcode in a secure place to avoid situations like this.
For the most up-to-date and accurate information, I recommend contacting Apple Support directly for assistance with your specific situation. They can provide you with the best guidance based on your iPhone model and iOS version.

If you have a forgotten/unknown device passcode, or have a disabled device (device unavailable or lockout screen), you unfortunately have no option but to erase the device. However, you can eventually restore the data and settings from a backup you made before the device was disabled, or if you were using iCloud to store that data. If you end up having to use a computer and you do not have one, borrow one from a friend, or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider. You can also use a PC with iTunes. You will likely also need your Apple ID and password. All Apple mobile devices follow the same general procedure but the link below, and other links off it, provides system and model specific instructions:

Follow the instructions that have already been posted above.

Re: “… Can I reset the iphone screen lock without erasing the device? …”
Short answer … NO.
You must correctly enter the passcode …
… or resetting the device (which erases all on-device data) is your ONLY way forward.
