Hi there Mr-Bajwa,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you are trying to set up a new iPhone, but it is asking for your old device’s passcode and you don’t remember it. Setting up a new iPhone using Quick Start does require your current device’s passcode. You can use another method, like an iCloud or computer backup to restore your data instead. This article will help: Transfer data from your previous iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.


We hope this helps!
