If you go to the Apple Store, they should be able to help you out. Like someone else mentioned, unless you had enabled the "Delete my data after 10 unsuccessful attempts" - which I'm guessing is unlikely in this scenario - then all the data should still be there.

SMH. No, you're guessing and you guessed wrong. Turning on a passcode turns on Data Protection. https://www.macworld.com/article/2029998/understanding-ios-p...

iCloud maybe a better/easier way to recover some, but not all, data.

The data gets encrypted, but its not deleted. Although I guess I was wrong in saying Apple can help - they wouldn't/can't unlock the device for you - but I'd probably still ask them what my options are.
