You have entered the wrong passcode too many times and now must reset / erase the phone and then set it up again.


If you forgot your iPhone passcode, use your Mac or PC to reset it - Apple Support


You can use your current backup to reload data back into the phone during the new setup, so the phone will look like it did before the passcode was forgotten.


It might be a good idea to write down the new passcode and keep it in a safe place......even if you are sure that you will never forget it.
