Welcome to AC forums
It helps if we know what model and Operating System you have.
Try the link below.
Note: you may need some kind of password recovery through your Google, manufacturers, or carrier account in order to get into your phone. If you don't know that information, which you should, on older you may have to do a factory reset.
