Cant open forgot password not using this phone for about a year

You can’t bypass the Icloud password if that is what you’re referring to, you’ll have to try to recover it from https://appleid.apple.com/account/manage if you have set the recovery security questions. If you still have your iPhone proof of purchase you may try contacting Apple support. If you just forgot the numeric passcode you may restore to factory default in Dfu mode, but you’ll need to activate the iPhone with your ID credentials anyways if it’s iCloud locked.
