How do I get on my iPhone if I forgot the password?

Just the password to get into the phone.

You must not own an iOS device. It makes you enter the password before you can reset all settings. Afterwards you do not have a passcode. Please do not post fictitious information on these forums.
Don't post irrelevant information either.
If I know the PASSCODE for the device, then I can use the PASSCODE to get into the iPhone, then go to Settings > General > Passcode, enter the SAME PASSCODE again, and disable the PASSCODE or change it.
To Reset All Settings, you have to enter the PASSCODE (as well as the RESTRICTIONS PASSCODE if you have one).
In order to use the method you've described to reset the PASSCODE, you have to KNOW the PASSCODE to do so.  If the goal is to simply change the PASSCODE, then the first method I described is far easier, faster, and does not affect anything else on the device.
If you do not know the PASSCODE, as the OP described, then your method is totally and completely useless.
There is no Reset on the iPhone that resets the PASSCODE which does not require that you already KNOW the PASSCODE.
You cannot Reset the PASSCODE on an iPhone without knowing the PASSCODE.  You have to use recovery mode or a Remote Wipe via Find My iPhone.

    A computer illiterate friend created 3 accounts on his iPhone 5 but forgot the passwords. He can't reset the password as his yahoo address is no longer valid. Erasing the phone doesn't solve the issue as the Apple server identifies the hardware as registered. How to register the phone with Apple?
    I helped him create a new email address and new iCloud account on my Mac but when we try to register the phone with Apple it says: Maximim accounts limit reached for this device. How can he register the phone? I read different threads and found out that only Apple care can do that. We're in Romania and don't know where to call. Any suggestions on how we fix this?

    When I checked the support site for Romania, you apparently don't have an Apple Care contact center.  You "may" try calling the US Apple care number to verify the account and have the password reset sent to a different email address.  800-694-7466

    how can i unlock my iphone 4 i forgot the password?

    If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the device from the computer to which the device is synced. For information and instructions, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If that will not work, you'll need to put the device into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

    If your device is running iOS 7 and you set up Find My iPhone, you'll need to enter in your Apple ID and password to activate the device after restoring:

    How can i get into my ipad when i forgot my password?

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

    You can't. Type in the wrong password until, it says "Connect to iTunes". Then connect it to iTunes. You will wait 1 minute, five minutes, 15 minutes, then 60 minutes, then you can connect it to iTunes.

    You can try and restore it from the computer to which you've previously synched.  If this does not work, you'll have to force your phone into recovery mode and restore as a new device.  All your data will be wiped.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

    Can I disable the "find iPhone" to restore the iPhone because I forgot the password

    The passcode for the device or the password for your Apple ID?
    If you know your Apple ID password, then you can go to www.icloud.com and not only remove the device from FMiP, but you can actually do a remote wipe, which will reset the device to factory settings.
