Locked iPhones can be unlocked without a password

Pressing the emergency call button at the unlock screen, followed by two taps on the home button, takes you to the iPhone's private 'favorites' page without the need to enter the unlock code.

If the owner of the phone has favourite entries in their address book containing URLs, email addresses or mobile phone numbers, then those entries can be used to launch the browser, mail application or SMS (Short Message Service) software and gain access to private web favourites, email messages and text messages stored in the phone, again without entering the unlock code.
