Hey folks,
So I broke a core rule of computing and used my device for months without a backup. My pixel 6 screen just died of apparent hardware failure, and rather than paying to replace the screen I was going to upgrade to a pixel 8.
That said, there are photos of my kids on the device. I've tried to connect the phone to my mac via AFT, but it keeps crashing. I'm not sure if that is an issue with the AFT app or because the pixel is completely locked.
So my question is: "Is there any way to connect a pixel to a computer, and unlock via pin from the computer?" If not, my follow up is "is there any concern with having my screen replaced?"
I'm terrified of losing all the photos of my kids, but it may be the situation I'm in. Any help is welcome!
