There is no such thing as a new iPhone X. It has been discontinued long ago. If you do not know the Passcode, you can reset it by following the steps here:
or
The device will be locked to the Apple Account that is currently used on the phone, so you will need to provide that Apple Account/Password to remove the Activation Lock and sign out before the reset will proceed.
Too much blood in your caffeine system... that's usually my excuse anyway.

Regardless, that device is “non-upgradable” … meaning it can only run the current iOS 18 and no higher.
Correction. It's an iPhone X, meaning it can only run iOS 17 and no higher. It's hard to imagine T-Mobile would issue an iPhone from 2017 to anyone at this point.

Return it. It is not new.
LOL … I’d had my full allottment of Caffeine by the time I’d posted. 😉
I still seriously question if any “Xn” (whether an X, Xr, or Xs) was distro’d by any legitimate / authorized T-Mo distributor. 🤔
A basic “X” doesn’t even support eSIM.

Yep. It makes no sense a major carrier would give someone such an old phone?
Is this a passcode that you set and then forgot?
or...
Was the passcode on the phone when T-Moble sold it to you?
If the latter, you need to work with T-Mobile.
Seems a little iffy that “T-Mobile” would be issuing any phones that old. 🤔
Regardless — be aware that device is “non-upgradable” … meaning that it can only run iOS 16 and nothing higher.
Actually, it can only run iOS 16. 17 requires an iPhone XR, XS or newer. The X. an't run 17 or later.
