There is no "forget passcode" option on iPhone. If your passcode isn't working, your iPhone is displaying a message that it is unavailable for a period of time or if enough attempts to enter a passcode which the phone doesn't believe is correct, it becomes disabled.


In either situation, the phone needs to be erased and set up again from your most recent backup. Here are the two links which you'll choose from depending on your current status:


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


If you forgot your iPhone passcode - Apple Support
