I accidentally locked my iPhone 5s?

I removed the passcode to my iPhone 5s so someone could use it for a school function. After I got my phone back I put a NEW passcode on my phone that was different from the one before it. I have Touch ID on so when I changed the passcode I kept the fingerprints. Now I can't recall my passcode and if my phone ever dies or has to restart I can't access it because Touch ID only works if you put in your passcode, "input passcode to activate Touch ID". I don't want to wipe my phone and lose all my data but if my phone dies or restarts I'm screwed! Please tell me what I can do and how to do it, explain very clearly too because I don't want to do one thing wrong and erase all my data! I currently have my iPhone connected to iTunes on my computer and everything I've looked at says I have to wipe my phone! I would remember my passcode but the passcode was a word passcode and not a simple number passcode. I really really really Really need this and I don't know how to remove my passcode and I just Really NEED TO REMOVE MY PASSCODE WITHOUT WIPING MY PHONE Thanks Please Help! That's all I need, I just need to remove my passcode without wiping my phone!

Back up your phone with iTunes, then reset it, then you should be able to import all the deleted files back onto the phone.

I believe if you take it to apple store they can unlock your phone and not erase the data (for a price of course)
but doing it yourself you have to wipe everything from your phone in order to unlock

  • ICloud: What if I accidentally delete all my address book data on my iPhone? If I lose my iPhone, I can still easily get my address book data back thanks to iCloud. What I'm wondering is: what if I accidentally delete all my address book data on my iPhone for example, would it sync with iCloud and also delete all the data on my MacBook?
  • I accidentally locked my iphone? Long story short. I bought an unlocked iPhone 3g from this guy on eBay. The other day when I was going through the settings, I accidentally locked it by doing the SIM Pin option on the phone setting. Now my phones keep asking me for a PUK code and my SIM Pin, which I thing I set. What do I do? I'm with Wal-Mart's family plan (T-Mobile).
  • I accidentally locked my iPhone 4s? So, I accidentally entered my SIM code wrong three times in a row, now I need the PUK code. The phone was given to be second hand by a friend. I use it as a iPod touch type thing and it has no service. How do I get the PUK code?
  • I accidentally hit restore on my iphone? I was trying to make a song into a ringtone and I accidentally hit restore. My phone is now back to what it was several months ago. All my new contacts, pictures and videos are gone. Is there any way to get them back?
