By your wording, it seems you have a locked iPhone. If so, refer to the following...

Troubleshooting a Locked iPhone:


Hold it Right There!



Being Locked Out...

Enter the passcode incorrectly too many times, and you'd likely be locked out for good. So, hold it right there, and refer to this link: If you Forgot the Passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is Disabled - Apple Support. It would be the one you've always entered. If you do not know it, then look for it in a location you may have stored it in.
