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.

You will need access to a computer with iTunes.

The only other possibility would be to erase the device using Find My iPhone, assuming you had that set up and the device still has a data connection.
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.

I shut it down, connected it itunes holding down the volume down button and the Restore or Update button never popped up on the itunes screen.
