If you don't know the passcode, you'll have to restore it to remove the passcode.  And with Find My iPhone set on it, you'll have to force it into recovery mode to restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.  This will erase the phone and you will have to restore an existing backup.
If you synced it with iTunes since setting the passcode on it, see if you can try backing it up before restoring it by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Back Up and File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. 
If iTunes won't allow you to back it up first, you don't have any choice except to force it into recovery mode, restore it, then restore and existing backup.  You could probably still import your camera roll to your computer first, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
