There is no bypass for a forgotten Passcode. The device will need to be wiped to have it reset. Apple does not know what it is either and all your data on the phone is encrypted with that Passcode.

If you forgot your iPhone passcode or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support


As long as you were using a backup, the data can then be restored when it is set up again.
