Your grandmother will need to use a computer to erase her phone following the directions in this link --> If you forgot your iPhone passcode, use your Mac or PC to reset it - Apple Support


If she is not technically inclined, she may find it easier to visit her Apple Store Genius Bar. She WILL need to know her Apple ID and Apple ID Password, so make sure she know both. And in the future, encourage her to write important things like her passcode down somewhere safe for future recall.
