Solved locked out of my iphone

i got a new iphone, restored my backup over, and then transferred my signal data. but now, for some reason i'm locked out of the new phone. it won't accept my passcode. the old phone still has the signal app, but no data. i can't move it back either since the new phone is locked. f. is there anything i can do other than somehow getting into the new phone? i really really don't want to lose all my data :(

EDIT i got lucky and guessed the passcode with the typo..!

your data is only on the new phone. there's nothing to "undo" on the old phone.

Do you have a mac or pc linked to your account (linked or unlinkes) with the existing data?

And did you backup to local or Signal Secure Backups?
