I'm looking for some advice on unlocking my late mother's Oppo A53 phone. She passed away last year, and now that I have her belongings, I've come across her locked phone. I've tried numerous passcodes but haven't successfuly unlocked it yet. Oppo support only offers to do a factory reset, which I'm hesitant about because I'd like to access any data that could possibly shed light on her decision. If anyone has suggestions or knows of any programs that could help with unlocking the phone without losing the data, I would really appreciate it.

Getting in touch with a hacker could be an option, but it's really risky and usually requires going on the dark web, which I wouldn't recommend. Alternatively, you might consider consulting a lawyer to see if they can help you negotiate with Oppo for unlocking the phone.
Honestly, your options are pretty limited. Those security locks are there specifically to protect people’s information, which means it's tough to bypass them without the passcode.
You could try a brute-force approach by trying combinations like '0001', '0002', etc. Although, it's going to take a lot of time and you might run into restrictions after too many unsuccessful attempts. Many people tend to use longer passwords with capital letters and special characters, making it even harder to guess.
Just a heads up, be cautious if anyone offers to help unlock the phone. There are many scammers out there who prey on people in tough situations. The security on Android devices like your mother's phone is quite strong—often fully encrypted and designed to prevent unauthorized access.
If your mother didn't give you power of attorney or something similar, then unfortunately it might be a dead end. The security features are designed to be very robust to prevent unauthorized access.
