There is an Apple article that explains what to do if you have forgotten an iPhone or iPad passcode. Click on the following link: If you see an iPhone or iPad unavailable message or Security Lockout screen - Apple Support


If that option is not available, you will need to use a computer. See: If you forgot your iPhone passcode - Apple Support
