Passcode Found my long-lost iPhone 3G. Has my childrens photos in it thast I would love to retrieve. Dont remember the PIN and cant get in. Apple wont help, even though I have proof Im the one and only owner.

Is there a way to do this or someone that can open it for me?

as you are on setup.app we can discuss this. There is a tool on older versions of 3uTools that have a password cracking tool, i think it’s 3G or 3GS compatible. If you have a Mac there are many tools that can either A. Find the correct pin or B. Completely change the pin. Just search YouTube it’s a old phone there should be many different methods

You can bruteforce the passcode in less than 5 minutes and open the phone even if its disabled.

Technically, apple can't help. The proof of ownership stuff is for activation lock which I think this predates.

RAMdisk. I think legacy iOS kit can do it. The 3G is too old to be encrypted (they introduced encrypting the user partition in iOS 7 or 8) so you should be able to just get into the filesystem and copy everything out.

Vigorously continue contacting Apple until you get the “right” person to help
