I wanted help resetting the device. My brother forgot his lock screen password and to reset to factory settings he needs the password. I tried to recover by google find my device but as the device was turned off, it does not connect to the internet. is there any way to reset it? i tried support but they said i could send the device to their tech support in china, but it would be too expensive.
The easy way; get your "brother" to remember the password.
Or bypass the FRP lock... Google it.

if the problem was the google account I could, but I can't even reset the device because it asks for the password. when I click on the "forgot password" icon it tells me that if I forget the password it cannot be recovered and in order to use the device again I would have to take it to their technical assistance to restore the factory settings. i could reset it by google find my device but when i log into google account it can't connect to the device because it was off. and to start it it asks for the password.
You already have lost the data on the phone as the password is tied to the encryption.

If I flash a factory image on my Nexus 6, will the device ask me for my google account, or does that only occur with a factory reset.
If you wipe the data then yes. I assumed since it's gonna be a whole ddffrent OS. Then yed

Click the top link in my signature for info. Especially if you are thinking of re-locking the bootloader.
You should remove your Google account and any security pin/password/pattern lock before hand. Then do a factory reset from settings before you begin. Safety first.

Giffgaff said they'd need the device protection taken off
"Don't forget to remove your PIN or lock code, and any other kind of protection so the phone fixers can turn on your phone and confirm the issue."
However it can be turned on and the PIN encryption is gone, I just don't know whether they will need my google account to get further into the phone seeing as it's a factory image flash. I can't lock the bootloader because i can't see anything on the screen and I cannot force it off without it auto rebooting.

If the screen isnt working, they can see the issue long before getting to boot up. To turn off device protection, you must remove the google account before a factory reset. You obviously cant do this without seeing what you're doing. And you wouldnt want them to have access to your google account. All you can do is flash factory and send it as is. Device protection isnt going to prevent them fixing a broken display issue.

By flashing the factory image, in its entirety, all of your account information would need to be entered before you could use the device again anyway. After the repair process, when the device is powered on, they would only see the start up screen, as if it were a new device.

True.
OP wanted to avoid access to his device by others. In general it is good practice to change password from time to time.
It is a point of view. Do not rely only on the security of a system.

I agree. That's why in my first response, I said that very thing. However with a broken screen, he could not do this from his device. So it was recommend that he do it via the web. But with the new features of security, you must wait 72 hours after changing your password before factory resetting. I think it's a time issue and the OP wants to get their phone off to be repaired.
Help.. I have a Huawei P10 (VTR-L09) with Android 8.0 and stock rom and recovery. I've lost the pin code and now it requires the pin after a phone reboot... So I can't access my phone anymore.
Every solution I find on the internet is either only for Samsung or not supported for this phone. Does anyone know how to unlock it now?
Please note that USB Debugging is not enabled in settings as I got the phone back from repair only a few weeks ago so only got fastboot commands. But I really do not want to factory restore it...
Thanks for any assistance!
You could contact your Phone company and tell them you've lost your Pin and PUK. They only need the Numbers from your Sim-card.
Thx for your message GAMaus, but I've lost the phone pin and not the SIM pin. Do you think they can really help me with that?

my friend was with the same situation, he goes to service center and they fix it but he lose all data.
or try with some gsm repair service maybe they can unlock without losing any data, but if your device is encrypted in my opinion is not possible without factory reset
It's not possible to unlock your phone without the correct PIN. Only chance to get into your phone is to wipe data in eRecovery. But this will remove all your user data except the data on SD.
You're also not able to get your data through TWRP because the /data partition is encrypted. To decrypt, you need your PIN.
But there's one question I have: The P10 has a great fingerprint reader and you're telling me, that you didn't assign your fingerprint for unlocking your phone?

Yeah the fingerprint doesn't work after startup because Huawei wants you to remember your pin... But fortunately I could try endless possibilities with the pincode (only sometimes I needed to wait a few hours). But in the end I got the pincode correct, so I can use my phone again
Thanks everyone!
Hi! My sister recently did a factory reset to her phone, but now it is asking for the Google account. She doesn't remember it. I tried to bypass the FRP lock with the Talkback method but it doesn't work. The phone has the latest Android updates installed so I guess they have patched that bypass thing. My bootloader is locked. Um, I have tried to downgrade the Android, also I have extracted the update.app files and tried to flash them via fastboot but it says "command not allowed". Anyone with an idea? ? Thanks!

Just sign in with your Gmail and then later remove it.
Are you serious? I wrote that she didn't remember it... If she knew it I wouldn't ask for help here.

Well FRP prevents you from alerting the system partitions. Thats all I know.
And how exactly did you hard reset your phone?

Factory Reset Protection. Just like iCloud on iPhone.
I turned it off, after that I have entered in the recovery mode by pressing both volume up and power buttons.

How did you bypass that, I'm on the January patch and have the same problem, my cousin did the same thing and he can't remember the original account, but I can't bypass the FRP.

The device is linked to a Miui account which must be yours.
Check here:

There is the "forgot password" option.

If the phone is not linked to a Xiaomi account this request will never arrive.
This case is frequent with a second-hand phone where the former owner forgot to delete it from his account.
This is one of the security in case of loss or theft of the device.

If you never set a security lock, like pin, gesture or fingerprint, there is a small chance to startup again.
Otherwise you can't startup without Mi Service.
If you wiped your data, everything is gone, but not the encryption, so Miui can't acces the data partition. You need to format the data partition for removing that encryption too.

thx for the reply any idea or tutorial to proceed ?
It's the security on the lock screen that encrypts the data.
By formatting the data you delete your data and the encryption but you will still have the unlock request at startup since the phone is linked to a Xiaomi account.
I think you are right. Even without some security lockoptions, you must pass always the lockscreen.
But I was under the assumption that you didn't need a Mi account for that.

Mi account sign up process always asks at least one way to verify your account, either it's a phone number or an active email.
Hard to believe just because you said it's "your phone". If it is, the linked mi account can be recovered either by email registered by it or a phone number used to verify the account. Unless both of your email and phone number is already inactive, it just makes the process longer, but still possible.
Reminds me of case of hardware dealer claimed Apple intentionally "lock" their laptops so that they cannot be resold. Whatever he claimed to be, either it's "donated, the owner didn't know", "bought at trusted refurbished reseller" -- when it's locked, it's hard to verify whether it was really donated or just "stolen". Some people would lie to meet their ends.
Do you have a custom recovery? If you have twrp or orangefox, then you can install a custom rom that is not miui and it doesn't ask you for a miui account.

You can only install a custom recovery and rom if the bootloader is unlocked.
For that you need a Mi account.
Because this isn't the case he is complete ruled out.
