Anyway to access a iPhone without knowing the passcode?

[FishThrower]

Hi all,

Bit of a long shot... One of my friends mother died yesterday unexpectedly , and we are trying to access the contacts on her iPhone so we can notify her friends of the news.

Phone hasn't been jail broken, and I'm sure that it's not synced by iCloud or IMAP. I'm not sure if it's even been backed up by iTunes ( will ask my friend this)

Are there any tools out there that would allow me to bypass the lock code?

Thanks

Thanks for the replays guys, proves how secure iPhones are really which is nice to know.

I haven't got the heart to suggest the finger print ID method to unlock the keypad, as that would be plain weird and freaky!
