There is no passkey you can use for a forgotten passcode. You'll have to erase the phone using a computer, by following the directions in this link --> Use a computer to reset your iPhone and your passcode - Apple Support

How to reset a forgotten passcode or password:
With a computer: Use a computer to reset your iPhone and your passcode - Apple Support
Without (requires iOS 15.2): If you forgot your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Vision Pro passcode, reset your device without a computer - Apple Support
This resets the passcode or password and erases device contents.
This does not bypass Activation Lock.
