Unfortunately if you have a forgotten/unknown device passcode, or have a disabled device (device unavailable or lockout screen), you have no option but to erase the device. However, you can eventually restore the data and settings from a backup you made before the device was disabled. Some data may also reappear once you sign in on the device and make sure iCloud is turned on.

Change your iCloud feature settings [iOS and Mac] - Change your iCloud settings - Apple Support -

"When you turn on iCloud for an app, its information is safely stored in iCloud and automatically kept in sync across your devices.
