Hello guys, i have an issue with my P20 Pro. I lost my PrivateSpace password. The fingerprint isnt working and i cant remember my pass. Is there any chance to get my files from PrivateSpace without using my password? Maybe some tricks with encrypted files or something else.. Please help
I think they are lost unless you remember them unfortunately. I had the same issue but in the end I had to back up my mainspace and reset the phone
If it was that easy to get into the private space then it would be useless
It will be the same password you set to unlock your phone in the event your fingerprint unlock no longer works or any other unlock method (such as pin or pattern) is forgotten

Hey guys!
So I got my Mi5 around a week ago, last night I got around to finally unlocking the bootloader and then installing TWRP and rooting the phone.
This morning I noticed that I now have to log into my online banking app manually with a username and password as it no longer asks me for my fingerprint to login.
This is extremely frustrating, is there anyway to fix this so that I am still able to log into certain apps via my fingerprint and not a username / password?
I know there were some warning, however it just mentioned that it would be less safe. Not that the feature would be removed.
Thanks,
Psy
My dad wants to sell his mi 9
He doesn't remember the password he used when setting up the phone.
He apparently used an unknown email when setting it up, because if we ask for a reset link by email it says it isn't valid
If we try to reset by having a code texted to him, there is no code being received
This is super annoying to be able to unlock the phone but that not being enough of a security check to perform a reset

On the other hand, I would think that security is good if a random user is blocked from resetting the phone. For a user to not just forget the password but also to forget what email address was used when setting up the phone it takes quite a lot of forgetting! To allow anyone to reset the phone is in my mind a bad idea.
To be able to unlock the phone you need to use the Mi-account, but to be able to perform a reset you need to log on to the Google-account used when you initially set the phone up. Unlocking and resetting are two different things, the first handled by Xiaomi and the second is handled by Google.

Nope, you can't reset the phone without the Xiaomi password. He knows the google account and password.
I dug around some more and was able to discover that there is no email associated with his xiaomi ID. It just has his phone number. But since it is refusing to send a text to that number with a verification code, I don't know where to go.

The kind of reset that requires access to the Mi account is when you want to restore backup from Mi Cloud.
For factory reset you don’t need the Mi account, you just need access to the Google account used when the phone was last set up.
Hello Team,
I recently changed my lock screen password and forgot it. I was able to unlock my phone so far with my finger print scan.
Yesterday my phone was stuck so I had to reboot it, and now its asking for password after reboot. I remember old password and my finger print should work, however can't bypass this password screen. I do not want to lose ay data.
I checked samsung find my device, dumb me have not registered it.
Please help retrieving data , I don't want to wipe out everything.
Hi all, feel silly posting a question like this but I am completely out of ideas at this point.
This morning I woke up and my P30 pro asked me to unlock it through PIN instead of using fingerprint (it usually does this sometime during the day "for security reasons"). Put my usual PIN, same one I am using since 20 years on all my mobile phone... PIN not recognized. Did it again various times paying attention, still no luck.
Things I did till now:
- Rebooted and retried, no luck
- Rebooted in recovery, safe mode, retried, no luck again
I am trying to unlock it since hours and after 3 wrong attempts I am blocked for 1 hour. I am absolutely sure that the PIN I am using is the correct one, anybody in the forum ever had a similar issue? And any idea on how I can solve this?
I own it since July 2019, never did a factory reset, phone upgraded to latest rom EMUI 12. There is a way I can at least access the internal memory to save some data? Photos are backup using google photos, but I would like to keep the original images before trying with a factory reset from recovery menu.
Thanks
Hey, I have exactly the same issue today. It asks me for a pin and I use the correct pin but it does not unlock. Did you find a solution?
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.

Hi @apoelultras , now that you are saying that to me I just remembered that exactly the day before I also changed the PIN of a baking app on my phone! In the meantime I also tried other PINs and I finally unblocked the P30pro using a very obvious PIN (my birthday date), that for instance was the same PIN I momentary put in the banking app (I usually access it using fingerprint).
But how is that possibile that an application is changing the lockscreen PIN? This is a bug of enormous proportions!
I've the same issue, but i've tried all possible PIN's i'm using, but it doesn't work for me.
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
