OK, I've looked around for you and it seems that booting to stock recovery by pressing and holding vol up+power then selecting factory reset will clear data and the password but will leave your pics there, but I'm not 100% sure yet so don't do anything until I verify that.

OK, I found this also, enter an incorrect password 5 times and it should ask you if you forgot your password then you enter your correct Google info and it should unlock.[/QUOTE]

Thank you so much for helping me with this.

I thought after trying 5 times I would also be asked if I needed password help but it doesn't.

After so many failed tries it says the phone is locked for 30 secs.

I found these codes. Are the usable from the emergency call screen?

To get into the Android system recovery/Samsung Recover Utils

Turn off phone, hold volume down, the power button, and the camera button at the same time to enter the recovery partition, and recover the phone

Use Volume keys to move among options, and the Home key to select

reboot system now

apply sdcard:update.zip - Manually update from your SD card

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition - Didn't do anything for me
