It's good you remember your Apple ID Password, as you're going to need that to erase your iPhone using a computer, then set it back up from backup (assuming you have been backing up your iPhone). Follow the directions in this link --> If you forgot your iPhone passcode or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support
