How can i reset password or get data from locked phone without factory reset? - Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers

Unfortunately, my friend - the owner of the phone Xiaomi Redmi 7, has passed away, and alas, the phone has remained blocked.
The phone has a graphic key and a fingerprint.
On the phone there is a google account and mi account. Access to the SIM card with which the phone was registered is available. Access to google and mi accounts too.
I would like to unlock the phone without resetting the data, well, or an alternative way to get the data. Data is a photo and video.
Therefore, we need your advice on this case.

Fingerprint scanner vanished - Alternate password forgotten

Guys,
I done goofed.
Allowed the young one to play with the tablet, lo and behold, the fingerprint scanner was "gone" and the tablet was requesting the alternate password, which I'm ashamed to say I have no Idea what it is.
I've tried to access the tablet with Android Device Manager, which gives me 3 options, RING - BLOCK - ERASE
After researching, I read that clicking on block and setting up a password there would work, but it doesn't. It just gives me a message saying that "Since google has verified that a screen lock is already set, the password that you entered won’t be needed"
There's no samsung account set.
While I know I could do a factory reset, It would be sad to lose some of the photos and files on the device.
Crazy ideas to help this fool here?
cheers,
Dan
factory reset wont delete your photos and files. it just delete system related data/install apps. unless you format your internal drive.
Hmm I thought that could be the case, but the only way I can do as reset now is going into that special mode by pressing power, home, volume buttons when the tablet is off right?
Won't the option I find there more drastic that a regular factory reset?
I haven't tried yet because I was hopeful for another solution :/
No other option available, would be terrible if there was (security bug!) Just do a factory reset in recovery mode, never got my personal files deleted that way, even Bluetooth downloads and old app folders stayed there

Forgot my pin and Android device manager didn't work.

Hi friends, Yesterday i just tried to change my lock pin on my M9 (running latest naugat)but somehow i forgot it after setting it up.(stupid me). Then i tried to use android device manager to clear the pin .After signing in into manager,i could see my device and it presented couple of options.One of then was LOCK.After entering into Lock, Android device manager prompted me to enter temporary password and i entered it.But it didn't work.
At one point i thought i was going to loose all of my pics,data.But fortunately somehow i managed to enter the right pin after couple of tries.
So can't android manager be used to clear the pin on M9?I would like to know if in future someone gets into this kind of problem.Thanks
Android manager is basically an emergency lock out security app which gives you the ability to remotely lock the device and destroy the private data on it before it is compromised, effectively making the device 'useless' until it is flashed. It doesn't protect the phone except for reporting its location if connected to the Internet, it protects only the data on the phone. Nothing more.

Recover files after factory reset in Moto Z Play

Hello everyone, I have a Moto Z play xt1635-02
The last day of vacation and after having taken 1500 photos (I do not backup in google cloud photos) the display of my motorcycle z play on the inside was broken by excessive pressure.
The phone remained with the black screen, but the commands responded because I heard sounds of screen lock activation.
In desperation, turn off the phone and when I wanted to enter the pincode intuiting the place on the screen to connect to the PC and backup the content, the phone did not respond. Do this process several times and turn it off several times as well.
There was no way to have done factory reset through the download menu since I had no way to do it without seeing the screen.
Today after changing the display, the phone appeared factory reset, so it was put into airplane mode and did not install applications.
I lost all my photos and I would like to know if there is any way to recover them.
1) I understand that the first thing I should do is Unlock Bootloader
2) Then root the phone (I would like to know what you recommend)
I listen to suggestions and thank you very much !!!
If there could be any possibility to restore the data, you should not unlock bootloader, as this clears all data. It is important to have the bootloader unlocked before any problem occurs to have more possibilities. But if you haven't, search other ways first.
Forced encryption + trim = no go, sadly. Wipe re-encrypts the device making all the previous data unreadable and unrecoverable.

Forgot the PIN - any possibility to retrieve the data from my redmi note 5 pro?

I have my device with me, and someone has changed the PIN to my phone and I'm now locked out. I did not link my device to the MI cloud and don't have google's sync enabled. Is there any way i can retrieve just the pictures from the device?
The bootloader is locked, and the phone doesn't have adb enabled.
Will a factory reset, and then deep data recovery using some tools work? I need the pictures alone.

Password still available after hard reset

I have a redmi note 8t.
I performed a factory reset and a hard reset (power + vol down) erasing all data. After the reboot, I setup my phone with the same google account. I installed an app of a stream service (its name is infinity) and I got access without password to my profile. My google account has no stored passwords.
To check this behaviour I repeated the procedure.
I removed every google account and I performed a factory reset. Then I performed a hard reset removing all data. This time I set up the phone with a newly created google account. I removed the sd card either.
The first thing I did has been to install this stream service app. Again immediate access.
By the way, if I logout from inside the app at the next access I have to type the password again, but if I uninstall and reinstall this app without logging out, access occurs without password.
I don't understand why it's sufficient to install it after multiple hard reset to have access to my profile.
Thank you
edit:
I checked with another device and this behaviour doesn't occur. Apparently hard reset doesn't erase login credential of this app in this device
