You can't recover a passcode if its been forgotten. If you don't know or can't remember the passcode, the phone has to be erased using a computer, by following the directions in this link --> If you forgot your iPhone passcode, use your Mac or PC to reset it - Apple Support


Since this won't be fun, when you set the phone up again and create a passcode, write it down somewhere for easy recall should you forget it again.

If you forgot a passcode that you changed within the last 72 hours, see the "If you recently changed passcodes, use your old passcode to temporarily sign in" section of: If you see an iPhone or iPad unavailable message or Security Lockout screen - Apple Support


Otherwise, see the other sections of that artice.


If that is not an option, you will need to use a computer. See:

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

or

If you forgot your iPad passcode - Apple Support
