I recently had my phone's LCD broken and cannot get through the internal storage because the screen is locked with a passcode. I have tried to connect the phone on a PC (wishing that it might still read the internal memory of the phone) but sadly it says that the storage is "empty". 
I already have read some forums here and tried to do the suggested steps but nothing works. Please help me.
I just need to get my photos back.

You could buy an USB OTG cable > connect a mouse > unlock the phone, that's assuming that the LCD is still working and only the digitizer/touchscreen was affected
I'm sorry to say this but I don't think it'll be possible, you could use an MHL cable but that will only display the screen on a TV/Monitor.
that's the problem, a 5-pin MHL cable can only display the content of your phone not control it, I'm sorry.
