How to retrieve data from a disabled iPhone?

My phone broke and started entering a password into my phono automatically. Upon an incorrect password being entered multiple times, my iPhone 8 got disabled and now I cannot access my data. How can I gain access back into my phone without losing all my data?

iPhone 8, iOS 13

You don't, sorry. These are the only instructions your can follow:

Keeping in mind that if you don't have a backup all data will be lost on that device (except those that you eventually synced to iCloud), pay attention to the specific gestures that you need to perform while connecting your iPhone to a computer (Windows 10 PC running the latest iTunes version) or Mac (which can have iTunes or Finder, depending on the macOS installed on it), and follow these instructions to re-gain access to your device:--> If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support

or watch this support video about the same matter:
