If your iPhone is disabled, there is no change the passcode once you are locked out. Hopefully, you've been diligent about backing up your iPhone. But if you haven't been backing up, you're going to lose your data and there is no way to avoid that.


Here are two links which you'll choose based on what's on your iPhone screen.


If you see a message your iPhone is unavailable --> If you see an iPhone or iPad unavailable message or Security Lockout screen - Apple Support


If you see a message your iPhone is disabled --> If you forgot your iPhone passcode - Apple Support
