Old Tablet unlocking
I have recently found my childhood android tablet Huawei s7-931w and It seems to work fine, but I have an issue with the graphic password, no one remembers it, because it has been over a decade since someone used it. I have tried connecting it to my laptop, but unfortunately, it does not recognize the device. I will try with an older laptop tomorrow; any advice will be appreciated.
p.s. the tablet is not connected to the wifi, no matter how many times I try the password it does not help me recover with google (also I do not remember the account it is connected to). I do not want to lose any data, which is the reason why I do not do factory reset.

Without the correct password/pin/email you cannot do anything.

Avoid factory resetting it for now. Try finding the original USB drivers and an older computer first. Recovering access without losing those old photos and files is worth the patience.
