Oh no! I wish you the best of luck with your new job, fell_mom. I really appreciate all the additional steps you’ve already taken to try to get your device unlocked. There are some great steps at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204306 to help with what to do when you’re locked out of your phone. Once your phone is locked out due to the Apple ID though, you’ll need to try the steps at “What if I forget my Apple ID password” section at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201365 to reset the ID. It sounds like you may have already started down that recovery path, so I ask that you reach out to Apple directly at https://support.apple.com/contact to verify your identity an alternative way and unlock your Apple ID to unlock your device. I’m confident Apple will be able to walk you through the necessary steps to get your phone back in working order.
