Hi, I has had an old iPhone 4s and I recently found it again and it was working, so try to use it but it was showing a message saying that the iPhone was locked for security reasons and that I have to unlock it, but I don't remember the security questions that I used on the icloud account and I also forgot the birth date (I didn't use my real birth date obviously because at the time I wasn't 18 so I used a false date to be old enough). Is there a way to unlock it without those things?

No, because if there were it wouldn’t be much of a security thing. And if we told you how, we’d also be telling every iphone thief how.
 
I read sometimes people can bypass this by contacting Apple and then show them your original receipt, but I’m not sure.
 
@Lucas284 is correct.. The only way to gain access to the device is to provide Apple proof of purchase. If you don't have that, there is no way to unlock the device unless you find/remember the passcode
