If you have a forgotten/unknown device passcode, or have a disabled device, unfortunately you have no option but to erase the device. However, you can eventually restore the data and settings from a backup you made before the device was disabled, or if you were using iCloud to sync data. Refer to this document for various methods, depending upon your equipment configuration, that you can use to resolve this: If you see an iPhone or iPad unavailable message or Security Lockout screen - Apple Support
