Lost IPhone

I forgot my password and I didn’t know what to do. I have an IPhone 6 and it’s locked. I was hoping to get my photos using iTunes or in anyways but I didn’t plug my iPhone to my computer and it won’t recognize my phone because I didn’t trust my computer. How can I get my photos back?

If you were using iCloud Photos, your photos and videos should be on iCloud (you can check it opening icloud.com on a computer and entering with your Apple ID credentials).

Shouldn't be this case, you should have a recent backup of those photos and retrieve them from that backup.

If you don't have a backup, those photos (and all your data) are lost, because you need to erase your iphone to remove the forgotten passcode, as per these instructions:--> If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled
