Unfortunately there is nothing you can do. I would try connecting it to your computer and see if you can use the Windows Phone Recovery Tool to reset the device back to the factory default. This would delete all apps and personal data. I am not even sure if you will be able to do this though if you don't know your password.

Edit - Try entering the last 4 digits of your mobile number.
