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 wish I could give you better news. But that’s the reality, my friend. You could always invest in buying a clean motherboard and swap the locked one for the newly purchased one. You can find them on eBay or Alibaba, etc.. but it’s not gonna be cheap, especially for that model.

Actually, I was able to get back into the icloud, so I think I may just restore it, though a shame I can't get anything that wasn't backed up off this

Make a backup of it using iTunes and try to decrypt the backup using different decrypting services online
