The only way to unlock it without losing your data is by signing in with your Google account.
If you don't use a Google account then I don't think there is another way to unlock it.

Reset your Gmail password via forgot password, and use the new password.
Give the phone back to the owner!

[For newbie] FRP and Phone lock / unlocked explanation

Hi people!
I know, I'm completely newbie in this.
But I'm getting in trouble and confused about it.
The question is simple:
What's means FRP lock / unlocked and Phone lock / unlocked?
And what's the difference between them?
FRP means Factory Reset Protection. If locked your phone will be protected of unauthorized factory​ resets. If a stranger tries to reset your phone, the phone will ask for your Google password on startup.
So if you unlock FRP you will lose that protection but this is required too unlock your bootloader (that's what you called phone locked/unlocked).
Phone locked (bootloader locked) means that you cannot make any changes too the partitions of your phone for example the recovery. So you are required to unlock your phone to install custom recoveries and ROMs like TWRP or RR etc.
Hope I could help you clear some things up.
If you're planning to sell your Android phone, make sure to remove your Google account from it first or else the next owner wouldn't be able to use it.
FRP means Factory Reset Protection. If locked your phone will be protected of unauthorized factory​ resets. If a stranger tries to reset your phone, the phone will ask for your Google password on startup.

actory Reset Protection (FRP) is a security method that was designed to make sure someone can't just wipe and factory reset your phone if you've lost it or it was stolen. Starting with Android Lollipop, FRP is "standard" in vanilla Android, and most companies making our phones have implemented it in their own models.Mar 29, 2016

Hi everybody,
My question is going to sound stupid, but now that I've got the unlock code for the bootloader, how do I unlock the FRP?
It is to this part that I am lost.
Sorry but I'm not very young anymore and not healthy. I had a big car accident and am much more on my phone and my computer

You need have enabled OEM unlock in Developer options for unlock FRP

Hi,
OK so I activate the OEM to unlock the FRP.
And for unlocking the Bootloader I can use Huawei Multi Tools?
Should I delete my Google Account or Huawei before doing these manipulations?
I do not have fingerprint or pattern lock.
Thanks in advance for your answers.
This video is for the Honor 8, but the same steps are used to unlock the bootloader on the Honor 9.

I unlocked the bootloader. Done on the instructions of the website:https://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin/unlock/step. After unlocking bootloader on my phone fastboot appeared the inscription "PHONE Unlock" and "Unlock FPR". On my device sprosili settings. After that, I re-entered entered the Google account, but the phone then began to hang periodically. I went into developer mode, done a factory reset there. And decided to turn back. Went to fastboot, blocked Downloader. Phone rebooted, then on the screen appeared the inscription: "Relock PHONE" and "FPR Lock". Out of fastboot, there was a black window where it says to restore the system through recovery in the air, but when I try to do fails. Help me, please!

Lost or Stolen Poco F1 with unlocked bootloader?

Hello everybody.
my question is a little bit noobish, is losing a phone with locked bootloader have any security benefits?
like if it's lost or stolen can the thief access my data ?? can he use the phone after formatting it ??
i really need to know it, and my English is not very good as i tried to search for any updated topic about this matter and i couldn't find such thing
On locked bootloader, he can't access your data as your storage is encrypted and any attempt to unlock the bootloader will wipe the storage out. Even if he does some kind of a factory reset, he will still come to the point where he needs a password to unlock the phone after a reset. So no, he can't really use the phone if the bootloader is locked.

With locked bootloader, the thief will not be able to use the phone at all if you have it in secure lock screen.
With unlocked bootloader if you are encrypted (not flashing fde) he will be able to use the phone but will never have access to your data.
With unlocked bootloader and unencrypted (by flashing fde) he will be able to use the phone AND have access to your data.
Thanks guys very helpful, I needed to know the risks... Many thanks [emoji4]

Eventually you can unlock the phone, without using FDE, and backup/flash/restore with an USB-OTG cable and a USB drive, so your data will be encrypted but you still can "play" with your phone. That's what I did.

how do I unlock a Samsung galaxy A10?

I am completely new to this community. But, I have a Samsung galaxy A10; that is currently locked and can not be unlocked, as no one knows the password or the details for the google account that is connected to it. I don't want to have to pay to have it unlocked. So, I was wondering if there is anyway to unlock the phone without it. I have tried to factory reset it but that just brings me back to a screen saying I have to input a password or log into a google account to continue. So any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
never mind I figured it out this tutorial told me how.(you do not need a sim card by the way)
