Locked out of my iphone

Some how I've locked myself out of my iphone that I've used daily for years. A senior moment perhaps. How do I reset my password without wiping it clean? I have my itunes password and my apple id. How do i reset my iphone login password?

Unfortunately, once it's locked, you have to wipe it, there is no other way. You can recover your data from a backup once you've reset your phone.
