If this the passcode to your iPhone to unlock it and get to the home screen? I am assuming that the iPhone is disabled.

You can reset your passcode by following the instructions in this article by Apple âž” How to reset your passcode on a disabled iPhone. You will need a computer for this task and all your data on your iPhone will be wiped clean in the process. If you have a backup created then you can âž” Restore Your iPhone from that backup file. If you do not have a backup file created then you will lose all your data on the iPhone. If Messages and Contacts are synced to iCloud then you will be able to retrieve them.
