If your data is not backed up, you can't. The only way back in is to completely erase your phone. If you've been backing up, when back in, you can restore the phone from backup. If you haven't been backing up, your data is gone.

Follow the directions in this link --> If you forgot your iPhone passcode - Apple Support

The time to ensure no loss of data is before catastrophe strikes.
