but old Indian Micromax 2G touch phones don't confirm to OTG standards and usb mouse is of no use here.
Anything to reset the lock should be enough, rest is handled from software on PC.

It works!!!!!!!!

I unlocked my broken HTC A9 that was encrypted with a PATTERN LOCK. YES! I used an Insignia OTG cable, and a logitec K830 TV USB keyboard that had a mouse touch pad included. I did have a replacement phone that helped me make sure the touch pad was working, and practice the pattern. My screen was almost completely black so I had to literally use a ruler to measure the exact location of the dots on my screen. I used lipstick (so I could remove them when done) to mark some dots on the cracked screen to help guide me. After approximately 3 trials (I had about 6 left before my data was erased), I was able to unlock it, connected it to my laptop, and recovered every single one of my photos.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Don't give up!

Also you can check what on your screen with Android SDK tool, Android/sdk/tools/uiautomatorviewer

The problem with this method is that you have no idea where the mouse is on the screen. I drew out a guide like you suggested but the mouse could be anywhere when you start, that's the frustrating part.

Well if your touchscreen is cracked, dead, or generally unresponsive; that’s not going to work. Depending on your settings, transferring files isn’t possible while your phone is locked, but what if you could unlock it without the touch screen? It takes some time, but it’s well worth it.

"Using your TV as a Second Screen with OTG and HDMI". This technique will work no matter what type of problem your screen is having. From cracked screens, to dead ones, or even ones missing entirely; this will get the job done.
