Unfortunately, if your phone is locked and you can't remember the passcode, then you won't be able to back up your data (other than what's on the SD card) since you don't have access to the phone.  Have you been backing things up on a regular basis?  If you happened to set up Android Device Manager during your phone set-up, you may be able to use it to unlock your phone.
