    You can't.  If you get locked out, you have to restore the iPhone from the last backup, which will clear the password lock.

     

    Note, you can still back up the phone if it's locked, so it's fastest to connect it to a computer, turn OFF iCloud backups (if they're on), do a local backup, then restore the phone.
