Did you try a blank password

How did she use it maybe she knows how to type it. You have to be literal with older folks.

Yes you can do this if you can boot to an installation medium (DVD, USB-Drive) first.
The steps are desribed here:

Open the laptop up, and remove the hard drive or SSD. Put it in another PC (desktop probably) and copy and paste the pictures. Also on YouTube there are many glitches, (many get patched but still some may work) that do something like open sticky keys with the keyboard shortcut and getting it the command prompt and changing the password. Also if it is using a Microsoft account you can reset it on microsoft.com. if you don't know, then here: if it is Microsoft account, you will see "name@name.com" if it is just a name, it is a local account and gotta resort to glitches and stuff. You could also install Linux mint or Ubuntu on a USB drive and boot it from the USB drive and manage the drives there to copy the pictures.

If she logged in using a Microsoft account, then you can reset the password by requesting a forgotten password using another computer/phone. You can also install a dual boot with Linux and access the main hard drive from it. I'm sure that are other ways if you google the question you have.
