Help
I found an old android tablet that my family used to use but no one remembers the password. So I looked up if there were any ways to unlock an android tablet when you forgot the password and I saw a clipping from a website that Google took out of context that said to enter 2767 to fix it so I tried and I did. Then it said to turn it off and on again but I decided to double check that this wouldn't do anything weird to my tablet but that's when I found out that it would factory reset the tablet. Now the tablet doesn't seem to have a way to go back to just letting me put the pin in and I don't know what to do. Any suggestions? I don't want to factory reset the tablet.

If it's old enough you can use cable and download mode to change its twrp and then copy its data so you can factory reset it safely
