I don’t remember my password to my old phone and now it’s telling me to restore the phone but I really need some messages that are on it

If you were syncing Messages with iCloud, the messages should still be there and you can sync them back after the restore. If you aren't syncing Messages to iCloud, do you have a backup you can restore from?
