(< iOS 15.2) See this Apple article: If you forgot your iPhone passcode

If you forgot your iPhone passcode - Apple Support

You can also use a Windows computer.

If you don't have a computer, ask a friend, acquaintance or family to use their computer, or at a public library.

Alternately, visit your local Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider and they should be able to help you out.

You will first have to make an appointment due to the pandemic.

If your iPhone is running iOS 15.2 and newer you don't need a computer, see -> How to reset your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch if you've forgotten your passcode
