What happens when I restore my iPhone 4s?

I forgot my restriction passcode and for some reason i can't get anything over 12+ or something? It's really bugging me and I was told that the only way to reset the passcode is to restore it. Is this true.

Also, if i restore my iPhone, what will happen to all my music?

A reset will make the phone "out of box" new. You will loose any iOS updates, etc.
as for music, sync your phone with iTunes on your computer before resetting the phone. All your music will be waiting on your computer afterwards.
To reload your music you may have to re-name your phone so that iTunes doesn't put your settings back the way you don't want it.
