I have no access to the screen on my samsung galaxy s3 mini and i am trying to retrieve the data from so i can get it repaired although i have a password on it so it is not letting access it. is there a way of doing this?
 
If you have a password set for unlocking the device from the lockscreen, that shouldn't affect your access to it via usb as far as I know.

Otherwise you could try adb, but that would require that you have usb debugging already set on your phone. If you don't, with a broken screen you won't be able to.

Food for thought for you and the readers. One of the very first things you should always do to a new android phone is enable usb debugging. it will not harm the performance of your phone, and it can be a life saver at times.
