My phone is in Security Lock, how can I save my photos if I have to erase it?

My son changed his passcode and immediately forgot it. Now it is in lockdown and probably have to erase it. How do I know if photos were saved?

Getting Missing Photos on a Locked iPhone:

Did he have iCloud Photos enabled? If not, and they were not backed up to any source, then there are lost. Get here to see if his Photos are in iCloud: https://www.icloud.com/photos
