As per the article https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/iphone/iph7a2a9399b/14.0/ios/14.0#iph622110a2d

Erase all content and settings from iPhone

  1. Go to Settings > General > Reset.
  2. If you’re asked to enter your passcode and you’ve forgotten it, see Reset the passcode. If you’re asked to enter your Apple ID password and you’ve forgotten it, see the Recover your Apple ID website.
  3. Tap Erase All Content and Settings.

When iPhone restarts with all content and settings erased, you have the option to set up iPhone as new or restore it from a backup. See Turn on and set up iPhone.

Without the credentials like passcode or Apple ID and password an iPhone can't be erased to factory settings and reset .
