Welcome to iMore!

Here is a guide on how to reset the passcode. But you will still need to know the Apple ID and password for the phone. Otherwise it is a paperweight.

Hold the top or side power/sleep button and the home button at the same time until the Apple logo appears, then release.
If you mean a restore of the phone, connect to the computer in DFU mode. You will need the Apple ID and password to set up afterwards.
