I have an old iPhone 4 and I totally forget the number code to get into it because I have not used it in many years. My spouse had suddenly died 4 years ago of Cancer and I’ve been trying to get into it to get old pictures and messages etc. It was her account and I don’t have an Apple ID oh, so how can I figure out the number code to unlock it? I’ve always used something I would remember such as my birthday or anniversary or even one of my nieces birthday, but I have no idea what code I had put in back then. Thank you so much for your help!!!
I’m sorry, but there’s no way to figure out your old password or remove it on an iPhone if you don’t know what it is. If you have a computer that the phone was previously connected to, you should be able to connect the phone to it via USB and browse the photos to recover them, or make an iTunes backup and recover the photos from there. Alternatively, if you know your spouse had an iCloud account and you’re able to access their email, you might be able to reset the password on that account (at icloud.com) and see if you can recover any photos from there. If you have no computers from then or no other way to access the phone, there aren’t really any other options. Wish I had better news for you!
