The only way to unlock your iPhone is -> follow the steps described in the Apple article:

(< iOS 15.2) -> If you forgot your iPhone passcode

(iOS 15.2 and newer) you don’t need to have a computer -> If you see an iPhone or iPad unavailable message or Security Lockout screen

You will need to restore the device using a computer. The process will erase the device. Later you can restore your data from a recent back-up. Instructions here…

The erase is for your protection. If your data could be restored some other way, anyone could pick up your device and have access to your data....
