Sorry to hear this,

If you have not made a backup or synced your photos to iCloud they device would have to be erased to make it work again

the reason is that the passcode encrypts your data and phots, and if you forget the only way to get around is to erase the passcode which also erases the data

this document has the correct steps for restoring the iPhone, Good Luck!
