I forgot my phones lock screen password. Willing to do or learn what it takes to open

I think the main issue is that the old guides don’t really apply to Android 14. The PIN isn’t something we can extract as a hash and crack, and USB debugging normally can’t be authorized while the phone is locked.

If the files are important, I’d avoid flashing or unlocking the bootloader because that could wipe everything. I’d first check your Google/OnePlus backups or speak to a reputable data-recovery service.
