To reset a disabled device you can erase it by restoring as new in iTunes (btw, the ONLY way to reset a disabled device). An iTunes restore resets the screen lock passcode by erasing all data & settings, and reinstalling iOS.


However, if activation locked, you MUST know the AppleID password used with iCloud to disable activation lock -> Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support There is no alternative to that.
