If you have forgotten the passcode to the iPhone, you will need to restore the iPhone. However, you will also need the Apple ID and password used to activate the device. If you have forgotten the password, you will need to recover that before you restore the device. See this, https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid
