forgot passcode restore iphone 12 pro max

How can I unlock an iPhone 12 Pro Max? Recently I purchased the iPhone 13 but it's too small for my vision. I want to switch back to the 12 Pro Max but it is passcode disabled and tells me to connect to iTunes, however, I no longer have this phone listed as a device. Can anyone help please?
