    If you forgot your passcode, you can visit the link below to follow this step by step guide. It will guide you through restoring your device through iTunes to get rid of the passcode. If your iPhone isn't backed up, yes you will be losing anything that is not already backed up, sorry!


    "Unless you made a backup before you forgot your passcode, there isn't a way to save your device's data. You'll need to erase your device, which deletes all of your data and settings."


    Visit the link below for the step by step instructions.

    If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

    It's a little to late for that, not sure why you don't back up to iTunes or icloud on a regular basis and not in the time of crisis.

     

    you will lose all of your data as you will need to restore your phone.
