Are you asking about the iPhone’s passcode or your Apple ID password? If the phone is disabled that means the wrong passcode was entered too many times. You can no longer access the content of the phone; all you can do is restore it to factory settings, then restore your backup→If you forgot your iPhone passcode or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support


If you forgot your Apple ID password see→If you forgot your Apple Watch passcode - Apple Support, but this will not allow you to un-disable your iPhone.

Just to correct the link for a forgotten Apple Account(Apple ID) Password, it is here:

Anyways, it sounds like it is the Passcode you are referring to and you have the correct information provided by Lawrence Finch.
