Passcode Locked and Disabled phones you can use a  computer and the Apple ID password, but unfortunately it will wipe the phone ready for sale
If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled

Passcode locked iphone
In iOS 15.2 and later, passcode Locked phones can be erased without a computer.  You may have to try 5 different passcodes to get to the 1 minute lockout, then the 5 minute lockout then at 15 minutes lockout you will see the words “Erase Phone” at the bottom of the screen. Â
You still need the Apple ID password, it will also wipe the phone
