iPhone 4s - Forgotten Password

[Platinum]

I don't ever ask help for such a thing but I gave in as I couldn't find any solutions but I was wondering if anyone here would know how to bypass the lock screen of an iPhone 4s which is on iOS 7 (I don't know which specific iOS but I know it's 7), I don't want to restore it entirely from iTunes as I still want to be able to access the photos, apps and whatnot else which is within the phone. The phone doesn't have Siri enabled but I'm able to get on to voice control; I hope someone can help!

I forgot to mention that the phone hasn't been switched on in 2 years and the phone wasn't provided by my carrier

Can only be done if using something like Blacklight/Lantern5, otherwise you gotta restore it.

Bought direct from Apple

could you possibly plug your phone into the computer via a usb and extract your pictures to your computer? then reset the phone via itunes and redownload the pics onto your phone? you can always just redownload apps...

Considering Lantern 4 is $800+, you're better off just restoring the phone. Not much you can do unless you already have these tools.

The phone hasn't been used in two years. I'm sure if he had backups he wouldn't have created this thread.

Probably not so easy. Basically asking how to get into somebody else's phone that you found/stole. I think the phone needs to be unlocked before performing a backup and to restore you need the Apple ID password.
