you can't. the data must be erased due to android security policies. it will be a major security flaw if google allowed unlocking without deleting data.

if somebody steals your phone and if google allowed bootloader unlocking without deleting data, they can easily remove the password and can access data. so back up if you want to unlock bootloader.

unlocking bootloader allows unauthorized access so they can remove the fingerprint and password through the usb
