How to recover deleted photos from Android phone after a hard reset.?

I got locked out of my cell phone will many grid combination attempts...

After I was only left with a choice to type in my Google mail account/password, it says I typed in the wrong password...IT WAS THE RIGHT USERNAME/PASSWORD.

So I called Samsung customer service and they only choice I had was to do a hard reset..which deletes my photos too...


Does anyone know how to recover photos from an Android phone? I have a Samsung Captivate.
