We want to think that you are not going to forget the unlock pattern or PIN of a mobile that you look at about 100 times throughout the day, but what about that Huawei phone that has been hidden in a drawer for more than a year and that did you just find? If you tend to change your password more than your underwear, you may find it difficult to access the phone. Can anything be done?
At this point, the first thing you should check is if the Huawei private space since this second place on your phone usually has a different password configured than the main space. Therefore, the first thing you should do is enter the passwords of the two spaces to rule out that you are doing it wrong.
If we talk about the main space, it is very difficult (if not impossible) to access the content of the phone if you have forgotten the password, because that is precisely why it exists to protect your photos, videos and data from curious glances.
How to reuse a Huawei mobile for which you do not remember the password
If we are talking about a mobile so old that it works with Android 4.4 or earlier, being able to access the mobile is simple because, after entering the code several times wrong, an option will appear that asks us if we have forgotten the password . If we have the mobile connected to the Internet, just click on this question to unlock the device with our Google credentials.
But, if like and illogical, our phone is more modern … what can we do? Huawei gives you the answer:
Huawei phones strictly comply with all applicable laws and regulations. To protect user privacy, data is encrypted using lock screen password according to irreversible algorithm. There are no reserved back doors. Data can only be decrypted when the preset password has been entered. In terms of technical implementation, there is no way to access the phone system without the correct lock screen password.
Touch erase device. If you forget your phone password and want to use the phone, you will have to reset the phone to its factory settings . This will cause all the data stored on the mobile, photos, videos, notes and any type of information to be erased and cannot be restored.
Since we cannot access the phone’s menus to factory reset it, you will have to do a manual hard reset of the Huawei smartphone. To do this, turn off the mobile, remove all cables and press and hold the on / off button and the volume up button at the same time until the phone enters Recovery mode. In the case of phones without volume buttons, as with the Mate 30, you will have to press the on / off button 5 times in a row after the phone vibrates during power-up.
Navigate the Recovery menu with the volume buttons and select Reset phone. Press the power button to proceed with the reset of the mobile.
After waiting a few minutes, the mobile will turn on as for the first time and you will have to configure it from scratch.
