Hi oh mighty Ab posse, I have a problem and have exhausted all other avenues so i thought you might be able to help. My daughter thought it would be a good idea to change the passcode on her iphone. Yes you've guessed it she forgot the new passcode and now the damn thing is locked! She has never backed it up (to pc or icloud) so my question is this How can i extract all her photos before i restore the bloody thing and wipe it clean? Everyone tells me it can't be done and that it's tough titties but i'm sure that the answerbank will come up trumps!
So thanks in advance chums.
ps i am a complete tech moron so any instructions should be written in moronese!

Unless you made a backup before she forgot the passcode, there isn't a way to save the device's data. You'll need to erase your device, which deletes all of your data and settings.
Don't know if this will work - as I don't have a code on my ipad

I've used it - can't remember why.
You will need to jailbreak the iPhone using a PC, copy any data you want, then reinstall legit iOS software which will wipe everything on the iPhone.

Do you know which version of iOS is on the iPhone. Here is help for jailbreaking with Redsnow on iOS5
