i dont know what i was thinking when i set a long phrase for my lock-code, i forgot it within an hour and now i cant seem to unlock my phone. i tried restarting but no use, searched but couldnt find a solid answer. so I'll ask

what should i do to recover my lock code (if its possible)
or is there anyway that i can access the storage and get my data from it ?

I think there is a method but still if you don't find try a Flash.

Visit this Thread:

and here, try the Replace Operating System flash option.

Use fix malf state method to mount your partitions and extract data from them...

I think you may be able to flash an open mode kernel and get rid of the lock too; not really sure as i haven't come across such a scenario yet...

You didn't read it all and specifically the Option I gave you.

it says "User data is retained"

fix malf state now to extract your data...follow till step 7 so you can rescue all your data first...

Once you have your data you can just do a zeroize flash...

if you can use SDK mode too then just use N9QTweak SMS backup and get your messages out of there...
