Follow the instructions in this Apple support article—>If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support. Follow them very carefully, to the letter, or it won’t work.

Then verify that you have the most recent version of iTunes (or at least version 12.8.2) on your computer, and even if you do reinstall it from https://Apple.com/itunes (unless your computer is a Mac running Mac OS Mojave, which has iTunes integrated into the OS). And if you have Catalina it will appear in Finder rather than iTunes.


If none of this helps see—>If your computer doesn't recognize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod - Apple Support
