Very long story of how I got locked out of my phone but is there a way to get off all of my data from my locked iphone? Or even bypass the passcode screen? Dark web hackers?

Unfortunately my iPhone hasn't been backed up in a few years so I need the data off of it. I had one retail store offer to do it for $2,000 but that isn't happening. A hacker on Craigslist is claiming he can crack passcode for $50. Any known methods? It's actually really ridiculous that apple only offers one way to unlock your phone ... after all, it is your data that you should be able to access. I think this is worthy of a lawsuit.

Problem is that everyone that has a stolen phone or wants to get into someone else's phone claims this exact thing....So no, there is no lawsuit there (you can't sue the lock company when you lose your key).
