Welcome to iMore! You are going to have to restore your iPhone back to factory settings. There are a few ways to do this depending on whether or not you've set up Find My iPhone. Refer to this support article for details:

If you have access to a computer I recommend booting into recovery mode and restoring with iTunes.

To do the above, you will still need your Apple ID and password to set up. Also, you will lose all your data, including photos .
