I have lost unread texts due to restoring iphone 4

On Saturday afternoon I decided to stupidly change my passcode on my iphone, and instantly forgot it! After numerous failed attempts it eventually locked me out.

When I got home on Sunday night I linked it to my itunes and discovered I had not other choice but to restore my phone back to its factory settings, however before I did this, I could see on my home screen that I had loads of unread messages, and some of them looked really really important!

I googled it and it looked as though these messages would be returned to me once my phone was up and running again but they haven't been! I'm absolutely desperate. I've tried a programme, Wondershare, but that only works for deleted texts, in fact I have only been able to find programmes for deleted texts but these texts weren't deleted they were literally lost!

I have tried contacting o2. Who are absolutely useless and won't forward on your OWN text messages due to data protection. Wtf?! They were meant for YOU in the first place! How this makes sense is beyond me.

I feel I've tried everything but yet whenever I search the internet there's always some super smart techy person who claims that nothing is ever TRULY just wiped. If a message has been received then it has been stored somewhere and it is only a matter of being able to locate it - . And I believe them because that makes every bit of sense to me.

If there's anyone who can help me I would be So grateful! You can do almost anything these days, surely its just the matter of finding the right kind of programme to download? Or even hack my OWN o2 account lol, anything!

I customized an Arizona State University skin for my iPhone 4. And I was wondering that if I ordered it, I'd actually like it. I know it's only a plastic skin, like a screen protector, which worries me. I've never had good luck with SPs and always end up peeling them off. How well do these things work?
