If you have forgotten your Passcode, you will HAVE to reset your iPhone using a computer. Assuming you've been backing up regularly, you'll be able to restore your backup after you erase it. If you haven't backed up, your data is gone. See what you need to do here --> If you forgot your iPhone passcode or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support
