Locked iPhones but don’t want to lose photos I have 2 older iPhones that I accidentally locked because I forgot my passcode. But I do not want to reset the phone. I have photos in there that are irreplaceable of my mother who recently passed and would like to somehow unlock it and retrieve my photos. I did not back up my phones. Any ideas?

Forgot Passcode, Delete iCloud Data Hello, so I forgot my passcode on my previous iPhone and i keep getting a notification saying ‘Some iCloud Data Isn’t Syncing’ then when I try to click ‘Resume Data Sync’ I put in my current passcode and it asks for my previous’s phone passcode, which i obviously forgot, so i click more options and the only option is to ‘Delete iCloud Data’. Im scared to do this as it is very vague on what it is and isn’t deleting. I need confirmation that my photos will not be deleted (I have optimize iPhone storage setting on in my iCloud so my pictures aren’t stored locally on my phone). I saw somewhere online a person say that if i don’t have Advanced Data Protection on (which i dont have on, its off) that my photos will not disappear, however i dont trust it and need someone to give me proper confirmation. I also cannot pair with my apple watch until i fix this issue because it uses end to end iCloud encryption or something. I’ve attached as many screenshots as i can. Please do help.

If you have forgotten your passcode, you'll need to reset the device. If you have forgotten the passcode, all of your data will be erased as a security measure. You can restore from your backup files.
