Do you have your data stored in an iCloud backup? You could restore your new phone to an iCloud backup. Otherwise there is no way to enter the iPhone without a passcode (unless you had it set up for FaceID or TouchID ahead of time). You can reset a phone if you cannot enter a passcode but that involves erasing the phone which means no data to transfer.
