Factory resetting an iPhone 5 without the password can be challenging but is possible. One method is by using iTunes on a computer:

Connect the iPhone 5 to the computer and launch iTunes.
Put the device in recovery mode by holding the Power and Home buttons simultaneously until the Recovery Mode screen appears.
Click 'Restore' in iTunes to reset the iPhone to its factory settings.
Set up the device as new or restore it from a backup.

Another option is to use the 'Find My iPhone' feature:

Go to iCloud.com and sign in with the Apple ID associated with the iPhone 5.
Click 'All Devices' and select the iPhone 5.
Choose 'Erase iPhone' to factory reset it remotely.
Set up the iPhone as new after the reset.

Remember to back up important data before initiating a factory reset as it will erase all data on the device.
