“Hello, my iPhone 4 broke and the screen doesn’t work anymore, I’m trying to do the security copy but it asks me to write my password. But I can’t because as I said, the screen is broken. Is there a way to do the copy without writing the password?”

“My iPhone 4 screen has white lines on the right side and the screen doesn’t respond on that side.  I have some important contacts in it, but since I can’t unlock my phone, I also can’t back it up!  Is there any other way to unlock the phone?  Or back it up without unlocking it?”
