Forgot WP7 Password

So I forgot my password to my Nokia Lumia 900 and managed to restore it to its factory settings. I wanted to restore it from a recent backup, but apparently that includes the lock screen password. Does anyone have any idea how to get around this? Like maybe someone knows which file the password is (if it's a specific one) and I could delete that, or something along those lines. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

How do you forget the password?

I would just do a factory reset and re-set-up everything on the phone. I know a restore is easy but doing a factory reset and just running with that will get you back to where you set it up the way you want and hopefully you can remember the password.
