Proving the device belongs to you is meaningless in this case. Your iPhone passcode resides only on your iPhone, Apple does not receive it, they don't know it and they cannot reset it. There is no way to get around the lockout other than having the phone put in recovery mode and restoring it from a backup. If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support


In your case the iPhone is already disabled so it is in recovery mode. You need to connect to a computer and restore it. Since you don't have a backup you will set it up as a new device.
