so i broke my iPod Touch about a month ago and i got a new screen in the mail well i fixed it and everything went fine..................until i forgot my password, i already put in the code wrong SEVEN TIMES i think the next lockout would be 10-15 minutes

does anyone know a way i can recover the password without restoring my iPod and losing all my stuff on it
PS: i went on google and someone said to restore it and everything will reset as a new ipod then afterwards "restore backup" and everything will go back but i'm not to sold on doing that i have over 1,000 pictures/videos on there of Nicki, Drake, Tyga, Iggy, etc and i can't lose them
