The OP asked if there was another way to unlock/reset his phone without first losing their data.
The answer is no.
If the OP has a current backup of the phone, they can use that to try to reload the data on the phone. But, first the phone must be erased/reset. No way to avoid the loss of data here, which the OP was asking about.
Did I provide the wrong info?
According to the article I linked, OP has to reset OP’s device, then OP can download all of OP’s content from iCloud, if OP backed up OP’s iPhone.

Getting Into a Locked Device:
Set up a Genius Bar Appointment at your local Apple Store. Bring a proof of purchase (ie receipt or original packaging).
Unfortunately, no.
Ok, I understand now. Thank you for the clarification.
is there another way other than having to restore your phone to unlock your phone if your password isn't working?
