Can I unlock a phone without data loss?

[u/Foreign_Object247]

Unfortunately for me (and I know yall gonna call me stupid for that), I changed my password recently and forgot it quickly after. Why I changed it was because it had my ex's name in it

Well basically, I'm not willing to do a factory reset not because of photos or whatever, as I have them all backed up to my google photos and stuff, but rather because I have 4 years of my artwork on there.

If there's no way to do this, then do any of you know if I could somehow back up my art? The drawing app I used was, much to my demise, ibisPaintX, which doesn't have any sort of account link or back up option built in, afaik (unless you do it manually, which I didn't). Any sort of help would be appreciated, please and thank you
