Pocophone F1
security set to fingerprint and alphanumeric password.
every 3 days the fingerprint stops working and asks for password as a default security feature.
Last night it asked for password as its been 3 days since last used password. I am certain the password is correct and signed in several times before with it. I suspect there might have been a system update in the last 3 days. Now it keeps saying password is incorrect.
Forgot password option only allows erasing data and back to factory default.
Any help would be much appreciated.

if you have TWRP or any other encryption supporting custom recovery, reboot to recovery and then check what it asks for.
called xiaomi uk
I didn't root the phone or have custom recovery installed unfortunately.
called xiaomi uk customer support, they were saying the phone should give the option to reset the password via the google account but it isn't giving this option.
the phone is definitely connected to my google account. can see it there and was able to locate it and ring it from the computer browser.

I didn't install those unfortunately.
Did you associate your phone to mi account? She this happen to my girlfriend's phone and saw a bunch of cases while looking for a solution. Couldn't find a way around factory resetting.
I ended up doing the factory reset. I am sure it's a Xiaomi software issue because when I was initiating the phone again, when you set up fingerprint it gives this message:
"Remember your lock screen password. If you forget it, you'll have to erase all data on your device, including photos and contacts, and then set a new one"
This is exactly what I ended up doing other than the fact that it wouldn't accept the correct password. There is ways around it if you rooted your phone before this happened but in my case there was no quick solution.
Xiaomi should allow the password reset via Google account like other android phones.
Lucky I did have some backup via Google so wasn't a total disaster.
this is really bad. Im in this situation and i don want to erase my files as i didnt back up or used cloud. since yesterday looking for work around this screen lock issue, im using pocophone f1.

Hey Guys.
A friend of mine tried to unlock my phone and made multiple failed attempts and choose some option which now have resulted in the phone being BLOCKED. it is not showing the "normally available option" of logging in via the gmail account. It is asking for a recovery password. I have no idea what that password is as i never set such a password. I have tried all my accounts on the phone. i tried 0000 and 00000000 aswell for the default passwords but of no avail. The screen shows "Recovery password required to unblock phone".
When i give a wrong password it says "Incorrect recovery password.All data will be wiped in line with security policy". As i dont want to do this i turn off my phone and upon restarting it this happens again. I tried removing the battery for sometime.Keeping the phone turned off etc but nothing positive.
Any suggestions on a workaround or what might the password be?

Hey,
never heard s.th. like that before.
but u said unlock? So it's from an Provider and u maybe have some sheets at home with infos and so on (like number, pin, puk etc.) maybe also a recovery passwort or kind of it is written?
PS: u also kann try 1234 1235 o kind of it.... but dunno what happend if to often typed... maybe u really loose data so better have a look first or call provider, maybe the service can help
CHEERS
This is the exact same setup as a stolen phone will show . So best advice is return the phone to the network/phone supplier who should be able to reset on evidence of purchase .
Incorrect recovery password.All data will be wiped in line with security policy
Means a security policy has been set up by the owner of the phone .
In case of a stolen phone or such symptoms XDA cannot get involved in workarounds that may be illegal .

Guys its my own phone no stolen thing. it is not on a network. The guy was trying to unlock it and made too many tries with it.
Regarding the policy, i did have my exchange account setuped on the phone which required the pattern lock in the first place. May it had such a policy but i am not aware of that. So any wild ideas?
Regarding unlocking i didnt say "unlock". i said "unblock". this unblock thing has nothing to do with the network unlocks.
I'm not able to use MIUI anymore because of the inability to enter my mi account's password.
So a month ago, I created a new mi account by using my phone number cuz i was not able to unlock my bootloader officially. I then did a factory reset but now whenever i start my phone, it asks for Mi account verification password... So even when i enter the password, it shows incorrect password and i cant get past this part so I'm stuck at this startup screen and cant use my phone at all. I even tried resetting my account password but it says "You've exceeded the number of verification attempts allowed within 24 hours." even after waiting for 24 hours before another attempt. It still shows the same error after a month. I think the reason is not verifying the new number after creating mi account.
I would like to add that I've tried contacting Xiaomi customer service quite a few times but they were of no use so I flashed an early MIUI firmware and i was able to access my phone but it was showing no IMEI number so I unofficially unlocked my bootloader and installed CM13. I'm now on LOS14.1 but wanna switch back to MIUI cuz of camera quality. So is there any way that I can use MIUI ever again?
Please help
Try this. Take out your SIM card and don't enable WiFi at the setup screen. It should bypass the account login page.

I tried that as well but it seems that this mi account thing registers itself with the IMEI number so no matter what I do, it asks for the password in the startup.

I really don't know how Xiaomi expect you to login through their system without any SIM/data or WiFi connection.

Thanks. I'll give it a try. Don't have Wi-Fi right now so I'll have to wait for few days I guess.
One question though: After flashing with the oldest firmware, I lose IMEI so do I need to update through Wi-Fi and then create a new mi account?
Hi. It's little long but important info..
I was a problem twice with the password on lock screen.
I have the device 6 months in approx.
One week after purchase I was make reboot to device. And when it's came to login screen and I used my password I get message of incorrect password. And it's was the password (doesn't change..). No one can help me. The store wanted make a full wipe in lab and it's need some days. Finally I used Google account. And used the lost device and remove data. The device make reboot. And want password of mi account. Insert it and it's was OK.
I was remembered to correct password. But anyway decided change method to the points on screen and make something easy. And write it on note in safe place. Before some weeks it's happened again. After reboot I got message. Incorrect password.. Thus time I was data on device. And not all have backup. So I was try more.. Local stores. Net. Accounts (Google and MI) and nothing.
I was retried some times the password and same message. Wrong. And I was checked it in note. Same password.
After some passwords the device locks for 30 minutes. I was try to escape from this and try reboot again. Doesn't help. After talks with some people's. It's looks lost. So I left it.
When the 30 minutes end. I think.. Try again. And it's work!! With same password. After that I was retry lock and open again. And reboot. And all is OK..
So I am askwhat happened?! Have option that the device 'forget' his password? Now I am without password to make sure with it. But I want password. Normal password..
It's happen for someone or known problem?
The rom is global and stable. Add picture
Nothing?
Was new update today. But in details have nothing about this
I lost my redmi 6 pro account password please help
Hello guys, this is my first post so please forgive me if I'm gonna ask a dumb question.
My situation is I switched from OTA beta ROM to the MIUI 10 stable ROM after it resets my phone the first screen that pops up was "This device is locked" / "This device is associated with an existing MI Account. For security reasons, you need to enter the password to verify the device".
Heres what I did.
1. I open the wifi settings to sign in to my wifi connection
2. I click to the "Activate this device" button. Then it put me where I should put the password. Note: there's no tab or box for the username or MI Account ID.
3. I entered the password of my MI Account. Note: I save it on my computers sticky note so I'm sure I entered the right one.
After those 3 steps, the system says "Couldn't verify MI account ID. Invalid username or password.". So at first I was puzzled so tried to do it 3 times and I turned off the hide password function to make sure that im entering the right password. But after many times of trying, I still can't log in. Then I tried going to "Forget Password".
Heres what happened.
1. It asks me the email address that I used for my MI Account.
2. After I submitted it, it says that they will send an Account Verification Code to my email. Note: I did change the password for my MI Account before this incident so I'm sure that I'm using the same email address on my MI Account.
3. Then I went to my email account but I didn't receive any email after checking everything i.e "Spam and etc.".
4. I thought I did a mistake so I tried it again(Sending the verification code to my Email) but I still received nothing to the point that I've used all my attempts and I can't do it again for 24hrs.
So I tried to log in my MI Account on my desktop because I always save the passwords on the browser to check if I can log in or I cant. So when after trying it says the same thing that the password is incorrect. So I went on my browsers setting and went to "Password" and there I found the saved "Password for my MI Account". So when I turned off the hide password function it shows me that the password I entered on my phone is the same password saved on my computer's browser for my MI Account. So I tried to click the password on my computer's browser hoping that it will direct me to my mi account webpage, But after clicking it, it sends me to an empty page with this "{"result":"error","reason":"expires_in参数不能为空","code":10016,"description":"缺失必选参数"}" .
I really don't know what to do. I tried doing the hard reset option. I wiped my data and then Reboot my device. But even after doing all that it always sends to the "This device is locked".
Im really out of ideas this is my only phone so I was really a bit frustrated and stressed out for not being able to use it. So id like to ask for your guy's help. I hope you can help me with my problem. Even if not I still want to thank you all for spending time to read my post.
I'm having the same problem, did you get a solution?
And I'm having the same problem with my brand new Redmi Note 8 Pro. I think I've changed my password almost 10 times but still, the problem persists.
After setting a super easy passwrod like "J12345678" my problem solved! xiomi really sucks!
it's been years since the last time i touch my Redmi 3, i forgot the password, so i just factory reset it with my twrp.
but i need to login with old email to verify my phone, i forgot which email, because i tried every email that i can remember i ever login into this phone but got denied.
i tried to full wipe and replace rom, but it's still the same prompt that pop up, Insert email to verify the phone. is there anyway to bypass this?
as far as i know, this feature is for miui Roms. flash a custom Rom and you never see this alarm again.
