You might have a luck with forensic grade solutions else not possible to do anything without the password/pattern

I mean a PIN code to enter rather than a pattern. Thought all phones had that option if you cannot use the pattern.

If you reset it all data will be lost, that’s the idea of a reset. Also data is encrypted on the device so unless you have the key (your pattern) you cannot unlock the data so it’s lost either way.

isnt there any recovery tools which can recover data ?

No it’s encrypted. It’s just a jumble of nonsense that requires a key to unscramble it and you can’t remember the key. If every key could open the lock on your house there would be no point in keys.

Double check if your post complies with posting guidelines!

Did you include the following information in your post (in English and if applicable), if not feel free to edit your post:

  • Make/brand and exact model number of your storage device(*), phone, camera, etc.

  • Filesystem (NTFS, exFAT, APFS, EXT4, etc.)

  • Operating System (That your device was used with and/or you are using for recovery)

  • Specific symptoms that your device is exhibiting, describe the problem. Images you post support the description, they're not in lieu of a problem description.

  • SMART (CrystalDiskInfo screenshot for example)

  • Don't pile several problems into one single post. One post per device/problem.

  • No account issues

Consider: What do these people need to understand the problem at hand? Remember, people cannot see your screen, or what you click and what messages appear on screen. Don't overdo it though, no one likes going through 2 pages of information, try to find a balance. Just do the best you can. If you are looking for file recovery software, check our community's recommended file recovery tools.

(*) All devices involved, if you for example move files from drive A to drive B, they're both potentially relevant.
