How to get a password off an iPhone w/o deleting everything?

I use my phone for everything. I've got all my pictures and everything but I changed the password last night and i guess I typed it in wrong when I changed it? Because I know why it was. It was my brothers name but it keeps telling me it's wrong. Last time I 'restored it' I lost everything and I couldn't get my pics or contacts back even though I'd done it through icloud. I really don't wanna have to go through that again. Please tell me there's a way!

No, it wouldn't be a password otherwise.

  • Will deleting my iTunes library erase it from everything? I recently got an apple computer and have been switching everything over from my pc. Once done, I'm giving my old pc to someone else so I want to make sure none of my old stuff is on it. I have already imported my iTunes library to my apple computer so I want to get rid of it on the other one. If I delete all the music in the library on the windows, will it also delete from the mac and my other devices it's on? Like my iPod and phone?
  • Will deleting my iPhone backup delete everything on my phone? Every time I sync my iPhone, I get the message "iTunes could not backup the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone." If I delete the backup, will it delete everything?
  • Unlock iphone without deleting everything? So I lost my iphone like a year ago, I found it finally. But I can't remember the passcode. Is there anyway to get past it without deleting and resetting the phone?
  • May I delete everything on my iphone 4s once everything had been transfer to icloud? I have been a iphone user for almost three years and I'm going to trade in my 4s to get the iphone 5. Right now, I'm starting to figure out icloud work and it's a little bit confusing. So I want to know if it's okay if I can delete everything once my contacts, photos, and other stuff had been transfer? Because I do not want to lose my stuff and never get it back!
