As you’ve apparently forgotten your passcode - and appear to be running iOS 16 - you can possibly reset your phone w/o a computer by this method:


If you see an iPhone or iPad unavailable message or Security Lockout screen – Apple Support (AU)


If that dosen’t work, you’ll indeed need a computer (and a cable) to perform the follow-on procedure linked near the end of the article.
