If it shows Disabled, see If you forgot your iPhone passcode or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support
If that is not the problem, do a forced restart:
- Press and quickly release VOLUME UP
then
- Press and quickly release VOLUME DOWN
then
- Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears (15-30 seconds), ignoring "slide to power off" if it appears
The operative word here is QUICKLY for the first two buttons; and try it a couple of times, the timing is a little tricky. If done correctly this will always work unless the phone has a hardware problem.
