I heard hard reset is the only way I can unlock my phone, but my only question is can I get my files (photos, videos etc.) transferred to my pc or is it not possible?
there's a another way of unlocking the device - you'll have to use a PC - go the browser, go to this link:
https://account.microsoft.com/devices/about, sign in and lock your device with a new pin/password. This new pin over rides the old password so you can now unlock it
try it out
