You can try to reset the passcode by using the Apple Support document linked above your name, but there might be a reason why the messages that you are seeing instruct to connect to iTunes (on a PC) or the Finder (on a Mac).


If you cannot reset things using the first support article, then you will need to use this article:


If you forgot your iPhone passcode - Apple Support


If you have a current backup, you can use that during the new setup process to restore data to the phone.
