Lcd cracked need retrieval topic

I have looked over and over and couldnt find answer. Before i buy a digitizer i want to know if it can be fixed. I cracked my lcd and it is competely useless. Cant see screen. I want to retrive info off of it. I have used software but it does not work becaus3 i had a pattern lock and it seems to not let me bypass it. Is there any software i can use to take off my persoanl stuff off phone and if so how can i .if i cannot is there a site i can get a digitiser to swap? Thanks
