So here is my situation. I just this weekend reinstalled my macbook OS b/c it just quit on me for no reason (no time to back up anything).
I had not yet synched my iphone with my new clean itunes (damn it!)
Today my kids were relentless with my phone (3gs) and locked it up entirely.
I had to go and wipe it clean and restore it loosing everything I thought was safe
Then it dawned on me that my old iphone (3g) was still around and that has the majority of the sentimental pics I am mostly concerned about recovering.
I powered it up and low and behold, I have a password on it that I have no idea what it could be.
SO, can I jailbreak it then do the SSH thing to get the password? If I do this, will I lose all those pics in the process?
OR, is there anyway to backup the phone without knowing the password, then restore it and go from there?
It has been a long day, pls don't accuse me of trying to use a stolen iphone. I've been on the phone with at&t, apple, data recovery companies ect.... all to hear I am out of luck.
Any help would be great. The pics are of a deceased loved one and mean a whole lot to me...
thanks
