Breaking into iPhone 4s?

I have an old iPhone 4s. I don't know the passcode and I want to get into it to view old texts and pictures. (So no, erasing all the phones memory is not an option) I've also tried the Siri trick but Siri is disconnected so that isn't an option either. Is there anything else I can do?!

Possibly access it through your computer

Use ITunes

It is basically impossible to hack your way into an Apple product. This trick that you might have seen is staged, and you should not consider that as an option. I would contact your mobile carrier (Example: Verizon, Sprint, ect.) and they will be able to resolve your issue.
