Unfortunately you will have to reset your iPhone; this will erase all data stored on it. However, data from any service you had iCloud enabled for (Contacts, Messages, Photos, etc.) will be preserved and accessible on iCloud.com or other devices signed in to your account (again, assuming you had iCloud enabled for these services).
