Last night I decided to put a passcode on my iP5, and I know exactly which one I put on it, but for some reason it just won't work, so is now disabled. Weird as I must have made a mistake.

Anyhow, I really need my phone but can't unlock it and don't know what to do!

iTunes.
 
My phone is backed up from itunes whenever I connect it, so how do I go about doing this?

I don't want to loose everything forever!
 
If you plug it in, it should sync/backup. Then do a restore.

It doesn't let me sync, but this is okay because it synced yesterday.

Should I do a restore on the itunes and then back up - I'm worried if I restore it on itunes, it'll then like over write my back up from yesterday with the brand new phone.

1. Reload iOS in iTunes
2. Restore from backup
