sadly you cannot bypass the lock screen. what u can do is, login to your live account and erase the phone remotely using Find my phone.
Here are the steps:

To erase your phone
Go to account.microsoft.com/devices. If you're prompted to sign in, use the same Microsoft account you used to sign in on your phone.
Choose the phone you want to erase, then click Find My Phone.
Click Erase.
If you're absolutely, positively sure, select the I'm ready to erase my phone checkbox, then click Erase.

If you have enabled backup on your phone then you can restore your phone to its current state.

I would advice you to not panic and try and recollect the Lock screen password.
