Does your phone say it is Unavailable or Disabled?


If you see a message your phone is Unavailable --> https://support.apple.com/en-us/105090


But if you really don't know your Passcode, you will need to erase the phone using a computer to get back in, after which you can restore your most recent backup. See how that works here --> https://support.apple.com/en-us/118430
