Did you put a passcode lock on the iPhone or a SIM lock?

If it's a passcode lock and you can't remember the passcode, you'll have to restore the iPhone as outlined here -> iOS: Device disabled after entering wrong passcode

If it's a SIM Lock and you can't remember the pin, you'll get three tries before you need a new SIM. You shouldn't have to restore, but if you do, you may be able to pop the SIM out and then restore the iPhone.
