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?
