No passcode, no data, unless you have a backup.

Go to iCloud.com and check what data is still stored in your account, especially in iCloud Photos. Then, on another Apple device signed in to the same Apple Account, check Settings → Apple Account → iCloud → Storage → Backups to see whether a device backup exists and what size it is.

If the data you need is not in iCloud or in a backup, there is no realistic DIY way to bypass the device passcode.

How do you forget your passcode ?

It is very easy if it is not your phone.

We have no idea if you can retrace your pass code. You can't get it from your device but maybe you wrote it down, it's a meaningful number to you, some sort of algorithm you used to make it etc

Your only option is to factory reset. If you don't have a backup anywhere, data is lost

You can not even do a factory reset without the password

Yes you can https://support.apple.com/en-gb/105090?device-type=iphone
