To restore from backup see:

iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

See if you have an old PC or laptiop with a very old cersion of Itunes. When connected the standard error message will appear but when you click on the okay message it enables the keypad. enter the known code and in you get. We believe the reason the unit locked was due to low battery and setting date back in the past to 1970. the unlock time just increases. We have reset and recovered all pictures and videos and created a back up.

Did you notice that the post is over a year old and is already marked as solve/Apple recommended?

Also, your suggestion does not make sense.

The Desktop we used was running Windows XP, itunes version 12.0.1.26. We assume that when connected either the date was reset to current date or there was a feature with this version of itunes to re-enter the passcode.
