Nope. Backups have to happen before something goes wrong. If you have forgotten your iPhone Passcode, you will have to erase the phone to get back in. If you had backed up before this event, you'd have the opportunity to restore your most recent backup. If you haven't, your data will be wiped.

This might be applicable to you if you see a message your iPhone is unavailable --> If you see an iPhone or iPad unavailable message or Security Lockout screen - Apple Support
