Help! iPhone 3GS is disabled for 6 million minutes - I Still know the password

[Aic08]

My old iPhone 3GS was disabled. I didn't realize that my daughter played with it. Now, I didn't save or backed up my pictures. How can I skip the 6million minutes to enter the password without having to restore or lose the data...more importantly the pictures from when she was born till 2 yrs old. Please help. I still have the password. Can anyone tell me a way? An apple tech told me that there's no other way but to restore but I still have some hope that there's a way. Pls help.

We had this issue with the iPod touch. We were told to try and resync it with iTunes. If that doesn't work you need to,bloke we did, reset it to factory settings and then resync everything with iTunes.

Thank you, i will try this. I am really hoping that i will be able to save the pictures....i don't really care much for the phone anymore.

A tethered sync (restore?) with its last connected computer is supposed to unlock it, from what I remember. Had this happen once; panicked for a bit but was eventually able to unlock it.

If it won't let you do anything but restore, I've heard of people plugging it into a windows machine and backing up images that way before restoring.
