Simulate a finger/mouse on a Samsung cell phone

Hello, I have a problem. A friend of mine dropped his cell phone, a Samsung Galaxy A57. Now the screen is completely black and also slightly out of the case. The cell phone works otherwise, however, and there is still a ringtone when someone writes a message. He has already bought a new cell phone because the A57 is already 5 years old and a repair would not be worthwhile. Since I know a lot about technology, he asked me to transfer the data from the old cell phone to the new one. But now the problem. I don't know how to access the old cell phone. I've tried everything: Connected to screen with hdmi, downloaded different screen mirror software on my pc. But nothing has worked. The Samsung website says that you can't do much in this state because you have to unlock the phone to mirror it. However, you can connect a mouse and control it. The problem is that you can't see what you enter and the code is a pattern, which makes it even more difficult to do this blindly.

That's why I thought you could simulate a mouse/finger. I know these "hacker charging cables" that can unlock a cell phone if you know the code. Is there a way to use something like this?

Thanks for reading and for any help
