I Forgot iPhone password, How to change or get access to the phone?
First of all, as always, is to backup all your data before you proceed to do anything with your iPhone. Since your passcode does not stop you from syncing your phone to the computer so go ahead to save your data in iTunes. In case you an iCloud user, you better shift it to your PC to ensure safety of all your data. Then following the 6 steps below start recovery.
1. Turn off your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch
2. Plug the Sync cable to your computer
3. Plug in the sync cable to your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch while holding the "Home" button.
4. iTunes should say "Found a Device on Recovery".
5. Restore your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch
6. If you have a backup of your device, then you should be good to go or else you will have start as a new device
Problem Solved!

    1. Search it on your computer, the default file name is manifest.plist file.
      And this is the default path:
      # Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
      # Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
