How to unlock an iPhone with a broken screen when I can’t enter the passcode?

Good afternoon. My iPhone fell to the floor and part of the screen broke, specifically the row of numbers at the top (1, 2, and 3), which are part of my password. Is there a way to unlock the phone using the password on another device or computer? I mean, I have the password, but I can't use it or access the phone.

No, it's like asking how to drive a car, if the steering wheel is broken. You need to schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar to pay them to replace your screen.
