I am trying to get into my old phone and can’t remember the password , it is now locked and says connect to iTunes . How do I retrieve my old password to get into my old phone ? I am needing to get some information off of it soon.

You can only "remove that passcode", but this procedure erases all data on your device, so, if you don't have a backup, you can't restore your previous data:--> If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled

or, you can take a look a this support video:
