Hello guys,
got an Mi3 , using it from last year!
suddenly, I forgot my Phone lock PIN and because of some foolish internet article,I went to Micloud website and from there I opted to lock my device!
But now it is asking for password of my MI account!
I have the password but cant activate it because my phone is offline!
And there's only this white screen asking for password!
I cant go anywhere!
No button is working and i cant get to internet settings!
Please help!
How can i remove the anti theft lock?
Install xiaomi helper or whatever-name-it-is, like the iTunes but for xiaomi 's phone, connect your mi3 it'll use you pc's connection
Yes use MI pc suite and share internet over usb, it will automatically connect.

hi,
I broke my mi3's screen a few weeks ago and tried to replace it, but couldn't find a working one. so I decided to take a backup of the data by connecting to system via pc suite. But PC Suite wont work if the device is locked. So I tried to unlock it and disable pattern, by connecting an USB Mouse through OTG. But by this time I already forgot the pattern. Tried to unlock with what I remember, with several wrong attempts, now the phone shows "Phone has bee Locked, try again in 119 mins".
Just yesterday I found a Display online from a phone which is dead and replaced mine with that. Now the touch screen is working fine. Somewhere I saw that after 4 unsuccessful attempts by connecting at least 4 dots I will be able to reset the pattern using Gmail or Mi account. But the real pain is, just after one, please note just ONE unsuccessful attempt the screen Shows "Phone has been Locked, try again in 119 mins"
I know both my Mi account and Gmail User ID and Password.
Tried Android Device Manager to Lock my phone with a new pin, it didn't Help, says "Since Google has verified that a screen lock is already set, the password you entered won't be needed"
I have a lot of important data in the phone, I don't wanna hard reset my Phone, Please Help....

flash twrp and wipe data partition without wiping sdcard
this will wipe apps+appdata and won't effect files in sdcard
or switch to twrp and enable MTP after connecting a usb .now u can acesses all of your files
Or delete with twrp files relative to lock pattern

You still got the problem.?

Hello guys. My mother forgot it's Mi A2 lock screen code few days ago. We tried recovering it via google, but she also forgot her google account password, even though she recovered it with backup email. But we're still cannot recover the phone.
We have tried:
Mi account: She didn't log in on the phone. Now she's created it but obviusly useless.
Find my device on google: As the password was changed after losing acces to the phone, the session logged out on the phone. It still shows up on find my device but cannot find the device even though it is still connected to WI-FI an can receive SMS and also calls.
PC Suite: As we can't let the device connect the computer, it won't even show on PC suite
Have tried some free data recovery tools, as it's the most important thing for her (she has thousands of pics from trips she wouldn't like to loose), no luck.
So I dont know if we should focus on recovering the data, since after it I can hard reset the phone and -I guess- it would ask for the previous logged in gmail account which we have access to.
By the way, while entering wrongly the password, there's no "forgotten the password" hint or something.
That's disgusting, I don't know how there's no way to recover it since we have access to the logged-out but only account that device is linked to.
Thank you in advance, I'll keep looking up for solutions
EDIT: We've found out she had an old account linked to the phone too. We're currently logged in to findmydevice and it is actually logged in on the phone. But find my device will only let me send a notification to set up secure&ease but for further times. That's awkward
I've this Redmi 4a device which i don't have access to the number and forgot the password of mi account tried pretty much every method that's available on the internet but didn't get the job done. well i did bypass activate account screen but after connecting wifi or mobile data it goes back to locked screen which asks for mi account password and i don't remember the password nor the number.
if anyone could help me guiding the right way to solve this problem. i would appreciate any help!!
Thanks in advance
Hello,
Please I use a redmi9t , I purchased and set up my Mi account my self , and I've been using it for sometime now.
Just recently I was about adding a new Google account to my phone when suddenly my phone got locked.
The first thing I saw displaying on my screen was "This device is locked", so I was directed to activate the device by inputting the password of my MI ACCOUNT, which is the same account associated with my phone ,which I did but the phone would not unlock...
Kept saying "couldn't unlock. Can't sign in " (and I was inputting the correct password),
I've used the same I.D and password to log in to my MI account on the Xiaomi website with another phone, and it was swift, I've checked if my account was blocked but it wasn't, I've even change my Mi password while on the website but my phone would still not accept the password, kept returning the same response...
I don't know what else to do.
I've been locked out of my device, and I can't even switch off the phone.
Please is there a way to get back Access ?
Try hard to remember incase not then its need to remove it from server
Its the correct password, as a matter of fact , I intentionally inputted a wrong password just to see if it would bring the same response, it didn't ; instead it brought back the response "couldn't verify mi account I.D. Invalid username or password"
as you see invaild you can try login mi tool
as see if its same try reset pw
Just don't add again MI Account in Developer Options. Because so, you'll have to wait Again.
Hey,
Yesterday night probably my p30 pro got an overnight update. This morning the only option to me for unlocking the lock screen was the pin option. I tried many times my pin but i get an incorrect pin error. Anyone to suggest any solution? I don't want to wipe my data
Hey again,
I found the solution on my side. After the update the lock screen pin was replaced with another's app password (bank app screen password in my case). In order to be able to try many different passwords you are using to access different apps on phone and bypass waiting time :
Solution
1) Find old android phone and format it
2)Set up the old phone and use the gmail account you have on your p30 pro.
3) Select to restore from gmail and it will ask for lock screen password.
4) You can try many different passwords without waiting and when the password is accepted you can use it to unlock you are p30 pro.
