If the phone is not disabled, but your Apple ID is, then see this, If your Apple ID is locked or disabled - Apple Support

If you have a backup of the phone, you can use the backup to restore the data on the phone during the new setup.

You cannot. You can use iTunes to restore it as a new device, which means erasing it, which will reset the passcode. That is the only solution for a disabled iOS device.
If you have an up to date backup in iCloud or iTunes, you can subsequently restore that backup. If you don’t have an up to date backup, you are going to lose data - there is no way around that reality.
If your phone is disabled, it has to be erased, but there is good news. As long as you had things such as photos, notes, calendars, reminders, etc. turned on to back up to iCloud, after erasing you'll be able to get everything back. To resolve the issue, log in at icloud.com/find>click devices>all devices>click your device>erase>remove from account OR connect to a computer using iTunes to restore your device.

Afterwards, set your phone up from an iCloud backup. If you don't have a backup, you can set your phone up as new and as long as you sign in with the same Apple ID, connect to wifi, and turn your options on in the iCloud settings of your device, all of your iCloud data will migrate back to your phone.
To get apps back, go to the App Store>tap 'today' in bottom left corner>tap 'Photo' in upper right corner>tap Purchased
Here you'll see a complete list of everything you've ever downloaded with your Apple ID. The majority of apps are 3rd party and, therefore are backed up by their own server. Once you redownload them and sign in with the same login info, they'll be exactly the same. Next, go to device settings>passwords and accounts>add account and add any email accounts you may have. Turn on options such as contacts, notes, calendars, and reminders to insure to bring all available data to your device.

You cannot undisable an iPhone. You must restore it using iTunes. You can then restore your most recent backup. See-->If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

Once disabled, there is nothing you, nor anyone else can do but erase the device by restoring it in iTunes. This is a deliberate design aspect of iOS and the Secure Enclave encryption system - once disabled, nobody at all is getting any access to that device’s data.
Sorry, but once the phone is disabled, without a backup, your data is gone. It doesn't matter if you think you know the passcode now. You will have to erase the phone using the link which has been posted over and over, but I am including it here again -->
