Possible to retrieve data from disabled iphone?

I haven't used my iphone 4 in a while, and the other day my mom wanted a phone so I told her she could use it while I wasn't home. Seems like she tried too many times to enter the passcode and she disabled the phone. I have icloud setup but it doesn't back up pictures / videos I guess because I never selected that option before. Is there any way I can get those files off there, before restoring the phone?

Thanks

If you have previously synced your device with iTunes on a computer, then it may be possible (MAY being the key word) you can try and save your files by backing it up and restoring. If you haven't previously synced to iTunes then files are lost as you have to restore.

So your phone is locked out forever or does it wipe the data and resets to factory? I'm curious to know
