Unlock Android phone with broken screen?

[AC Question]

I want to recover my data on my android device, but the screen is broken and I can't get into it. I thought about trying to debug it with ADB, but apparently you have to have it set to act as a camera for ADB to recognize it and obviously I can't change the settings as I can't unlock the screen.

Is there any way I can recover the data on the phone?
