I forgot the passcode

I forgot the passcode of my other iPhone, but I have iCloud. How can I log in without losing my data?

You will lose all data on the device. If you have an iCloud backup, then the data will be restored and the phone will be usable just like it was before. The 2 support articles that cover this are:

If you see an iPhone or iPad unavailable message or Security Lockout screen - Apple Support
