If you see the Forgot Passcode? option in the bottom-right corner of your iPhone, you can erase and reset it without the need of a computer.

If you see an iPhone, iPad, or Apple Vision Pro unavailable message or Security Lockout screen - Apple Support


Otherwise, follow this Support Article to erase and reset it by connecting it to your computer.
