I recently found an old iPhone 10, but I can't remember the password to log in. I'm in a bit of a bind because I don't have access to a MacBook or any Wi-Fi, and I'm wondering if there's any way I can factory reset the device without a computer.

If you had access to a computer, you could put the iPhone in recovery mode and erase it. But without a computer, the only way is to remember the passcode and use the 'Erase All Content and Settings' option in the Settings app.
Check if Find My iPhone is enabled. If you remember your Apple ID password, you can go to iCloud.com/Find, sign in, and erase your iPhone from there. Just keep in mind you'll need an internet connection for that. A temporary SIM card could work to get online.
You actually don’t need a Mac specifically, but you will need a Windows computer that can run iTunes to restore your phone if you can find one.
No computer, sorry. Guess I'm stuck!
