how can i erase all data from iphone (4S) with blank display

I have an iPhone 4S with water damage. The display is blank, but it appears to power up OK, and two buzzes are repeatedly heard when the iphone is being charged.
When connected to a computer, iTunes recognises the iPhone, but an unable to perform any operations as it requires passcode on iPhone and the display is blank.

You can't erase without the passcode... unless the device is in Find My iPhone... open that up, and use it to remote-wipe the device.

If the iPhone is yours, enter the passcode, as required by iTunes, and then select to restore it.
