If it is disabled you have already lost everything on it. Your only option is to restore to New status by following the instructions in this Apple support article—>If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support. After that completes you can restore your most recent backup and/or re-sync everything that you previously synced to iCloud.
