You can’t unlock a phone with a forgotten passcode. The only solution is to restore it as new. If you don’t have a backup on your computer or in iCloud you can’t avoid losing data. The exception is any data that you might have previous synced to iCloud (which is not the same as backing up to iCloud), such as contacts, calendars, messages, etc.
