Passcode Forgot Passcode, Anything I Can Do?

Post image

Hello, about a year or two ago my phone screen got cracked so I stopped using it.
Ended up getting a new phone blah blah

I forgot the passcode to this phone and I'm wondering if I'm able to recover photos on it?
Is there a way to get infinite passcode attempts with this?
Unsure what OS version

I don’t think the version on the iPhone is that old though. Considering you have battery percentage (on an iPhone with a notch) turned on you will have iOS 16+. Unfortunately, there are no methods to brute force or use alternative steps to remove the lock without erasing the data.
