Hello, yesterday my iPhone 5S turned off and when it turned back on, it asked me for my passcode to access the phone. I'm so used to using Touch ID that I've forgotten my password, which I think I changed not too long ago. I tried a code that I thought was correct several times and then tried others in vain. I’ve reached the point where it says "iPhone disabled for 1 hour"... I can’t connect to iTunes since my iPhone was off and therefore not connected to the internet. I don’t know what to do, and at this point, if I have to lose all my data, it’s not a big deal... Please help me...

Hello!
I have two solutions to propose to you: one that doesn't RESET your phone, but has some deadlines, and the second one that RESETs your phone but has a lower chance of failing.
/!\ In both cases, you must not have a time limit (like 1 hour) /!\
N°1] When you're on your menu, slide up from the bottom to see the iOS shortcuts (you know, the flashlight, the timer, etc.), open the timer, press the power button until the confirmation message (Turn Off or slide to power off) appears. When it appears, wait 6 seconds then click on cancel and quickly press the home button twice (the only one with :)) then swipe left (from right to left) until you see the home screen, click on it and... magic! (Of course, this technique is not 100% effective, but it has a chance of working!)
If this method didn't work, let me know and I'll tell you the second one :D!

So I'd like to know your second method, thanks! :)
My second method is to hold the home button and turn it off until the Apple logo appears then wait. If this method didn’t work, I have one last one.
Press the power button and then turn it off. Open iTunes without connecting your phone. At this stage, you should have iTunes open without connecting your iPhone, and the latter should be turned off. Press and hold the home button while connecting it to your PC. Normally it should restart, don’t release the home button (even if the Apple logo appears, keep pressing). You should see an image with iTunes and some sort of charger below. If that appears, release the button. Now go to iTunes. You should see a box that says "Restore iPhone" (or something like that). Click on it and let it do its thing, a download bar will launch in the location of the iTunes logo, wait for it to finish, then eject your iPhone. All you have to do is turn it back on and, if everything went well, your phone is like new!
If that didn’t work, I’m sorry but it means your problem is beyond my expertise...
