Resetting the passcode in the settings app will not affect anything. However, if you mean that you need to reset the passcode, by erasing the phone because you can’t remember the old passcode, that will totally erase all data on the phone and that includes your personal information.

If you have to erase the phone, but you have a backup, you can restore the backup after you erase the device to access the phone again.
