Condolences on your father passing away.
But you've got a real problem as far as your father's Facebook account -- if his ex girlfriend did change the password and you're now locked out, it makes no difference if you can or can't just log into his phone to use the Facebook app on it. The app will still be set to auto-login using whatever was the old password, before she changed it. You would need to re-enter that new password to authenticate access to his account.
So you've got a multilayered problem
-- Bypassing the lockscreens on his phones is not going to be easy. Unless you do run across the PIN he used, perhaps he wrote it out somewhere, the odds are you're not going to be able to log into either phone.
-- Apparently his ex girlfriend has opted to make this sad matter much more complicated than it already is. You might have to consult with a lawyer about your status on this issue. Unless there is a will stating otherwise, you being a direct family member have much more standing than she does.
