Retrieving photos from old locked iPad

My gf has an iPad 2 from about 12 years ago which contains some family photos that aren’t stored elsewhere. It is locked with a passcode which she can’t remember.

A few years ago she asked Apple to help her access it, but without proof of purchase, they couldn’t help. She believes it was set up on the same Apple account as her current iPhone and Apple Watch. I would have expected that to be sufficient for Apple to accept her ownership, but apparently not.

The iPad pre-dates iCloud I believe and without the passcode she can’t connect to WiFi anyway.

Any suggestions as to how she could retrieve the photos?
