You can’t. Once the phone is disabled you can only restore it to factory settings. For next time consider enabling automatic nightly backups; then this can’t happen again→How to back up your iPhone or iPad with iCloud - Apple Support
If your device has iOS 15.2 or later installed, you can reset it without a computer; check out this link→How to reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when you forgot your passcode - Apple Support. Otherwise you will need a computer:
