Settings App Locked with App Lock - Forgot Password - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers

Hi,
Unfortunately i forgot my App Lock password for my Redmi Note 5. I did not link my MI account to reset as well. After searching in google i got to know that i can remove the App Lock from Settings. But, the Settings app itself locked by App Lock. Now what am i supposed to do. Is there a way to unlock the Settings app ?
any help other than wiping out the data in the phone is much appreciated.

Try the "safe mode". It boots your phone only with system apps and without any user app installed. There's a special key combo to start it, but I don't know yours.

Another way to boot into safe mode:
1. open the power off menu
2. tap and hold one of the options "power off" or "restart"
3. you should see another menu for safe mode

Thank you MiUI!
Then search the web for the key combo to boot into safe mode. It should be possible to enter that mode.

I tried several methods to get into Safe Mode but nothing works... i do not have a separate 3rd party app to lock the applications. It's the phone built-in feature to lock apps. Is there a way to do something now ?

What about ADB? There's a ADB command to deinstall (actually they are rather deactivated) system apps w/o root.
Let's say the name of that feature is "com.android.lock", then you have to execute
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.lock
for deactivation.

Don't Matter Fixed it!
For those that have the problem get Screen Lock Bypass and clear settings/setting storage data on titanium or related. then restart and your password is reset/removed!
You'll have to redo your settings though which dosent really matter.

Forgotten pattern unlock, fingerprint works

I can unlock my phone OK with my fingerprint, but I can't remember my pattern unlock (well, I think I can, but the phone doesn't accept it). I need the pattern to modify the fingerprint unlock, e.g. to add more fingers. Anyone know how to reset the pattern when fingerprint is working OK?
I'm on stock .253.

Well This Is Very Easy To Fix .
Follow The Steps:

2) Check whether "Android Device Manager" is enabled in Settings-> Security -> Device Administrators if not enabled ,then enable it .
3) Login to Device Manager

Thanks. I think this would have worked, or I could have used myxperia.sonymobile.com similarly. Unfortunately I rebooted the phone, and it turns out, even with fingerprint enabled, that it needs a pattern to unlock the first time after rebooting! I had to wipe it with Xperia Companion (there seems to be no on-device recovery user interface that we can use), which was annoying.
I've now set it up again and made very sure I knew the pattern before adding fingerprints!

Root to unlock phone

I'm new to this, and I just wonder if I can unlock a phone and make it usable again if the original owner doesn't know his gmail password? I would be happy to try the root option, but is that the only option at this point?

Hint: Google FRP bypass + your model.
In any case, if owner forgot his password it should be fairly easy to retrieve
You can, it depends on the model but almost all model enter in recovery by shutting down the phone and then press volume down and power button, if it's samsung then home button too. After you enter the recovery just factory reset

Ok thanks for your help.
Also, do you know if the textnow phones are able to be used under another carrier like AT&T? Does this require a root?

root doesn't unlock anything but access to all of the files in the phone, the system files, similar to the windows folder in microsoft windows. it's not some kind of magic, you still need to know the password of the phone if you want to use it.

(SOLVED)'To start android, draw your pattern/password' at every boot

I've recently unlocked my bootloader (official method), installed twrp and flashed custom roms along with magisk on my redmi note 4 (mido).
However every time I boot or enter twrp recovery it asks me "To start your android, draw your pattern/password", every time I have to draw the pattern and proceed. Any way I could avoid it at every boot? because it takes long to boot and it's kinda annoying. I know its related to encryption, i have already tried factory reset and wiped internal storage through twrp but nothing works. Also no option to disable encryption in settings>security>encryption. Flashing lazy flasher doesn't work either.
Any help would be much appreciated, Thank you.

Format data via twrp, that'll decrypt the device.

When you choose your screen unlock method, you select "no thanks" on the secure start-up page ( as shown here ).
Also, turning on an accessibility service will disable that too.
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I tried "fastboot format userdata" comand and it worked.
Please can you tell me how to use fastboot format userdata command , As i am facing same issue. Pls help.

Flash https://mirrors.c0urier.net/android/Dadi11/Required files/Rm_Pass.zip
This will remove any security like PIN etc. But if your device is encrypted then you have to Format DATA.

Oh boy!!!
Formatting remove encryption and also delete all data so it's absolutely not required for that "issue" (which is not an issue in fact).
It's "secure boot" it's possible to simply disable it in the settings, instead of asking pin or pattern, one should select none, and that's all, no more "secure boot" and it won't ask anymore for pin or password after boot...
Go to "Settings", select "Security and Location". next, select "Screen lock" then choose your current screen lock type. after that a page will popup asking you to secure start up, select no and enter your current password to disable.
wink wink... that simply does it.
Hi.. I am presently on MIUI10 Global stable.
When I unlock bootloader, install treble recovery ( redwolf twrp) and flash any custom ROM, the device boots and works fine.
But if then again I boot to recovery, data and storage is encrypted and cannot be accessed. No screenlock has been set. Recovery not asking for unlock password also. It just says mounting failed.

Samsung FRP lock SM-G925F

Hello everyone,
My S6 Edge is FRP locked because of a hard reset via the standard recovery.
Now is my question, how can I get rid of the FRP lock?
I've already tries multiple things, like:
- Flash a custom recovery (Can't because of RL lock (Reactivation Lock))
- Install factory binary to try a new method (Can't because there's no binary for my binary security level: RP SWREV: B:6 K:2 S:2)
- Install a stock rom with USB debugging enabled (Doesn't work, because for some reason ADB commands do not work...)
Hope you can help me!

So you have access to the device? In other words, you can use the device (open apps, play videos etc.) and just want to disable FRP but it wont let you? Did I get that right?

Thanks for your reply!
But no, I don't have access to ky device. Only the configuration screem which you get when your phone comes new out of the box or after a factory reset.
Within the configuration screen I can't go any further than login of the Samsung account. Because it won't let me login
I need a way to bypass this, otherwise I will not be able to use my phone anymore...

So you know your credentials but the phone refuses to accept it? If so, open Google on your PC and type in Samsung - Find my mobile. Log into your account, choose your S6 and select Unlock Reactivation lock. Make sure that the phone is connected to the Wi-Fi network.
If you forgot your Samsung credentials click reset password on the login screen (on your PC) and repeat the steps above.
Hope it helps

I just checked your claims and I don't see an option to disable FRP on my S6 edge using Google's method. It can erase and lock the device but it doesn't have the power to disable FRP. On the other hand Samsung's find my phone site has the FRP disable button. I wish to point out again that the phone explicitly asked for the Samsung account. If it wanted Google's info it would have asked. I could be wrong but I'm just saying what I'm seeing.

Yeah I know it's asking for Samsung account. But FRP lock is down to google. Remove Google account = FRP lock disabled. FRP lock and reactivation lock are different. If he can't get passed Samsung account the very easiest way is to just reset Samsung account credentials.

Aha, okay then, sorry for the misuse of words. But still in a nutshell FRP and Reactivation lock are the same thing. Both still block the circumvention of the stock ROM if it's enabled. I think that the author of this topic meant to say Reactivation lock tbh

I've done that already a long time ago. But simply resetting my Samsung account password isn't going to cut it.
My phone has been reset via the standard Samsung recovery menu. After that the phone boots up like it's totally new.
So you have to go through the configuration menu for the phone.
At the part where I have to fill in my Samsung account credentials it fails to advance because of Samsung's FRP lock which I still haven't been able to bypass.

But if you are entering the correct details then it should pass the reactivation lock. So long as you use the same Samsung account you had logged in before you reset. So if you reset the credentials for that account you should be able to log in and pass the lock after.
