security lockout

My phone went to security lock out one morning and i hadnt put the code in numerous times. I was advised someone may have tried to access my icloud account so we changed the password. We cant get into this phone now unless we press factory reset.. will we loose all the photos or will tehy be on the cloud? i have access to the cloud now on a pc but am reluctant to factory reset incase the photos are gone? Can anyone help or advise please

iPhone XR, iOS 15
