Guide to Unlocking Oppo Screen When Forgot Password
In this article, Mytour will guide you through 3 methods to unlock the Oppo screen when you forget the password. You can choose one of these methods or try all 3 if you can't find an immediate solution.
1. Perform Wipe Data/Reset Factory on Oppo
Note: To unlock the Oppo screen when you forget the password using this method applies to pattern screen lock. The mechanism of this method is to deeply intervene in the software inside the phone and rerun the program to remove the current password. This method is simple and quick, but the downside is that it will erase all the data on the phone. So, you need to consider carefully when using it, and moreover, this only applies to phones using MTK chips on Oppo.
Step 1: Firstly, turn off the device completely. Press and hold Volume Up + Power (Power button) until the Recovery Mode interface appears.
Step 2: Once in Recovery mode, use the Volume up/down buttons to navigate and find the wipe data/factory reset option. Use the Power (Power) button to confirm.
Step 3: Select Yes and delete all user data to erase all data. After that, locate the Reset option to restart the device.
2. Execute Flashing the Unlock File via Custom Recovery
To unlock the Oppo screen by Flashing the Unlock File via Custom Recovery, first, ensure you have some knowledge about Oppo phones and other devices. Each Oppo model has a different method, and if you're unsure, it's best not to proceed. What you need to do is Google and find the Unlock file for Oppo, then copy this file to the SD card. Next, Flash it, similar to updating the firmware, and once the device restarts, enter any code, and the device will unlock.
3. Execute the process of deleting the screen lock setup file on the phone
To unlock the Oppo screen when you forget the password by deleting the screen lock setup file on the phone, your Oppo must have been successfully Rooted beforehand. Open Root Explorer, navigate to the Data/system path, and set permissions to R/O. Then, search and delete the file named 'password.key' for alphanumeric passwords. In the case of pattern passwords, find and delete the file named 'Gesture.Key.' Restart the device, and it will still prompt for a password, but now entering any character will unlock it.
