You will lose all data on the device. If you have an iCloud backup, then the data will be restored and the phone will be usable just like it was before. The 2 support articles that cover this are:

If you forgot your iPhone passcode - Apple Support

If you see an iPhone or iPad unavailable message or Security Lockout screen - Apple Support
