OK, there is one question first: What IOS do you have installed?
If you have IOS 7.X.X the easiest way is to ask the previous owner for the password. IOS 7 and up have a security measure in which to erase or delete data, first you must turn off Find My iPhone from the settings or from the iCloud website. If there is no way to contact the previous owner, then you must downgrade the firmware and jailbreak at the same time using Redsn0w. There are tutorials on YouTube how to downgrade it.
If the iPhone is on IOS 6 or below, just restore it with iTune, this will wipe all data and factory reset, making it as brand new, giving you the chance to set it as New iPhone in the set up process.
Best of luck.

SOURCE: I had a iphone 3gs

If your iPhone 4 is brand new, you might wanna restore it to remove that passcode. This is what you need to do:This is how you can recover your device:

Plug/connect your device to a computer (PC or Mac)
Turn it OFF
Press and hold the POWER and HOME buttons together for EXACTLY 10seconds
Release the POWER button but keep holding the HOME button until the computer beeps indicating that a USB device is recognized.
Open iTunes and restore your device.

After the restore is complete, please do not choose restore from backup, rather, choose set up as new device.

You can just sync all info after that.

If you don't get it at first, try holding the buttons for lesser time or see the other procedures and some screenshots on my tip (link below):

My I pad lock a few days ago,and I don't know my pass word

With regard to your situation, the only way is to restore the password with iTunes or iCloud. Just follow below steps.

If you have synced your iPhone with iTunes before you forget your iPhone password, you can reset your iPhone by using iTunes without losing data. Through iTunes, you can restore your iPhone from the last backup and remove the passcode from your locked iPhone while retaining your data. If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer. Otherwise, you have to follow the reset iPhone Passcode with Recovery Mode section below. The following steps will show you how to reset iPhone password with iTunes.
Step 1. Connect your iPhone to the computer with via a USB cable that your iPhone has trusted.
Step 2. Launch iTunes. If you've synced your iPhone with iTunes, then no "enter password" is required.
Step 3. iTunes will automatically sync your iPhone and create a backup file. If it doesn't, you should sync your iTunes and create a backup file manually by in the Summary window.
Step 4. In the Summary window, you can see the option "Restore iPhone". Click it and follow prompts to choose the latest iTunes backup to restore your iPhone.

After the restoration process is complete, your passcode will be erased and all your data will be restored from your backup. You will now be able to access your iPhone without any passcode. And you can set your new password on iPhone.

How can I unlock a passcode?

If you repeatedly enter the wrong passcode, your iPhone will be disabled for longer intervals before you can try again. After too many unsuccessful attempts, you won't be able to try again until you connect it to the computer with which you last synced it [if it has been synced to a computer].

Note: You can configure your device to erase itself after ten consecutive incorrect password attempts. This setting is off by default. It can be turned on by tapping Settings > General > Passcode Lock.

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it [or iCloud]. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
Please also note that Apple representatives can't unlock an iPhone for you without restoring the iPhone, either. The restore process will erase everything on it.
Apple's official instructions to restore an iPhone with iTunes are:

Connect your iPhone to your computer [that you have previously used to sync the device].
In iTunes, select the iPhone in the "devicess" list, then "Summary" at the top of the screen.
If iTunes doesn't automatically synchronize your iPhone, do so manually [and confirm that the sync and backup were successful.]
Click "Check for Update." iTunes tells you if there is a newer version of the iPhone software available.
Click Restore. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the restore process. When restoring, it is recommended that you [again] backup the iPhone when prompted.
When iOS Setup Assistant asks to set up your iPhone, choose "Restore from iTunes backup."
Select your device in iTunes and choose the most recent backup of your iPhone.

After this process, your iPhone should be restored with the information from its last backup, but it no longer will have the passcode enabled. It would be wise to think carefully before setting another passcode or using the passcode feature again.
