See If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204306, especially the section entitled Remove your passcode.
If you don't have a computer as mentioned in Remove your passcode, then "borrow one from a friend, or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider." Of course the last option usually is not available now.
Later the document says: "If you can't update or restore your device using recovery mode, or you can't use recovery mode because of broken or stuck buttons, contact Apple Support. Then follow the steps to set up service for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch."
