Accessing photos from old iPhone 5s

I have an old iPhone 5s and i would like to access the photos and videos on it.


I don't remember my passcode so I currently have to access to the phone itself.


I remember backing up my photos to iCloud every week, but my iCloud drive is empty.


I really want my photos and videos back. Can anyone help?
