hi everyone,

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum, I'm just desperate for some help.

my father passed away two weeks ago and I am trying very hard to get into his Samsung Galaxy 19000H to upload any of his photos (he was an avid photographer and had some great ones he'd share with me at our dinners). So, doing a hard reset on the phone is definitely not an option for me as I've read is a sure fire way to get into the phone. He doesn't have a memory card and I don't have his USB or his gmail info or any of that stuff either. I still have some pattern unlocks left, the phone is not in lock down, and I have it powered off to save the battery. is there any way to over ride the password and get the priceless photos from it? any help would be appreciated at this time. thank you so much in advance.
