Iphone 5 forgot passcode? (without IOS 7)?

So my friend was looking through my messages so i quickly changed the passcode but my brightness was down so i don't know what i put so I don't know the passcode/ don't remember it i keep trying to guess but it keeps disabling since i never updated to IOS 7 i was wondering id i do that now will it ask me to put in a new passcode or do i definitely have to restore? If so how and what can i do so my contacts won't get lost?

You can plug it into you me computer and back it up, once it is backed up restore it and then restore from your backup, that way your phone is exactly the same it just won't have a passcode anymore

  • What to do if i forgot my iphone 4s passcode? So i forgot my passcode, and i don't know what to do. I read that you could plug your phone into itunes and then reset it, but i really don't want to lose all my photos, text messages, contacts, etc. Is there a way to reset my password without losing all my iphone's data? Please answer quickly! Thank you so much! Btw, please don't suggest to go to the apple store/call verizon because i really don't want to do that, thanks.
