Is not possible.

To unlock your iPhone, follow the steps described in the Apple article:

(< iOS 15.2) ->: If you forgot your iPhone passcode

If you forgot your iPhone passcode - Apple Support

 

(iOS 15.2 and newer) -> If you see an iPhone or iPad unavailable message or Security Lockout screen

If you see an iPhone or iPad unavailable message or Security Lockout screen - Apple Support

You will have to erase the phone and no, you can't use iPad to reset it. You will need to restore the device using a computer. The process will erase the device. Later you can restore your data from a recent back-up. Instructions here…
