Too many attempts have been made at passcode, either by a person or in your pocket.

You can sometimes remedy this without a computer if on iOS 15.2 or later by tapping on "erase iPhone" , but you will still need the Apple ID password. It will WIPE the phone, no choice!

 ios 15.1 and earlier:

If you've forgotten your iPhone passcode – Apple Support (UK)

 

Turn off Raise to Wake in Settings, Display & Brightness and turn off Tap to Wake in Settings, Accessibility, Touch to prevent it opening in your pocket or purse
