How to unlock OPPO phone if I forgot my password

Below will be described all the actual ways for ColorOS to help solve this problem.

Reset to factory settings

Хард Ресет стирает все данные и возвращает телефон к заводскому состоянию. Осуществить эту процедуру через системное меню нельзя, поскольку экран заблокирован. Но можно перевести мобильное устройство в режим recovery.

Please note that all information will be deleted from the smartphone! Even the data on the SD card may be erased.

1. Turn off your smartphone.
2. Press the power and volume down buttons.
3. Wait until the Oppo logo appears and release the keys.
4. A black screen with hieroglyphs will appear. Press "English" to switch to English.
   
5. Click "Wipe data".
   
6. Enter the verification code.
   
7. Select "Wipe data" or "Format data". The first option saves contacts, messages and photos on the phone, but there is a risk that the password will not reset. "Format data" completely deletes user material and unlocks the device.
   

Recovering a password using your Google account

This option does not always remove the password from the phone. The method may not work on a specific Oppo model, but it's still worth trying.

1. Enter the wrong password 5 times.
2. Внизу появится надпись «Забыли пароль?». Нажмите по ней.
3. Enter the data from your Google account installed on your smartphone. You must have access to the Internet to do this.

What to do if there is no internet

Если на смартфоне отключен Wi-Fi и не удается включить его через шторку уведомлений, попробуйте перейти в инженерное меню. Нажмите внизу экрана «Экстренный вызов» и введите комбинацию: *#*#7378423#*#* или *#803#. Откройте пункт «Service Tests» – «WLAN». Далее подключитесь к Вай-фаю.

If you can't connect via Wi-Fi - then insert a working SIM card with mobile Internet.

Deleting data via Find My Device

Этот способ гарантирует удаление пароля с экрана блокировки, но побочным эффектом будет являться полная очистка пользовательских данных. Для выполнения процедуры понадобится компьютер или другой смартфон.

1. Open the website Find My Device.
2. Log in to the Google account linked to the locked phone.
3. A side menu will pop up on the left side where you can click "Clear Device".
   

Using ADB Run

Блокировку можно снять с помощью специальной утилиты ADB Run. Для этого не нужны root-права и разблокированный загрузчик. Вам понадобится только доступ к компьютеру, ЮСБ-кабель и включенная отладка по USB на смартфоне.

Please note: you cannot activate debugging on a locked device. If it has not been enabled before, nothing will work. The second prerequisite is that the "File Transfer" configuration must be set by default.

1. Download ADB Run from a reliable source, for example, 4PDA forum.
2. Unpack the downloaded archive and install the program in the standard way.
3. С помощью ЮСБ-кабеля подключите телефон к компьютеру.
4. Run ADB Run from the desktop shortcut and wait about a minute for the connection to be established.
5. A window with a list of available commands will pop up. Press the number "6" and then "Enter".
   

In this way you can quickly remove the graphic key or the alphanumeric password. The great advantage is that all data will remain intact on the device.

Deleting password via TWRP Recovery

The method is suitable for those who have installed custom recovers.

1. Turn your phone off
2. Hold the power button and the volume knob down.
3. When recovery mode appears, click on "Advanced" - "File Manager".
4. Open the section /data/system.
5. Delete the following files:
   
6. Go back to the previous menu and open the "Reboot" - "System" tab.
7. Wait for the phone to reboot and then continue to use it as normal.

Installing new ColorOS firmware

Нужно обладать определенными техническими знаниями и навыками, чтобы правильно перепрошить телефон и не превратить его в «кирпич».

1. Unlock the bootloader.
2. Download the archive with the appropriate firmware.
3. Set your smartphone to Fastboot mode and connect it to your PC.
4. Perform a reflash via the command line.

Contacting Support

Если вы неопытный пользователь и не хотите проводить сложные действия с телефоном, лучше обратиться за помощью в службу поддержки. В России нужно позвонить по номеру: 8-800-100-67-76 или написать письмо на официальном сайте. Обязательно предоставьте следующую информацию:

• NAME;
• Date the phone was purchased (at least approximately);
• Country of residence;
• Photo of the package and receipt (if left);
• E-mail addresses that were used on the smartphone;
• IMEI of the mobile device;
• An approximate list of contacts;
• Connected Wi-Fi networks.

Usually the application is processed within 7 business days. You can call for a quick consultation, but most likely you will be redirected to a website where you will need to leave a text message.

Если вы указали верную информацию, телефон должны разблокировать. Еще один хороший вариант – обращение в авторизованный сервисный центр, в котором специалисты оперативно снимут пароль.

Now you know what to do if you forget the graphical or regular lock screen password. There are 7 methods you can use to solve this problem.

How to avoid locking the OPPO in the future

Set up fingerprint unlocking if you often forget your pattern or number combination. Face ID is also suitable, but this technology does not always work correctly.

We recommend using the Smart Lock function, which prevents the phone from locking in some scenarios. Namely:

• Physical contact. The password is not set if you are on the move (walking or holding the phone).
• Safe places. For example, a house. A prerequisite is that the GPS must be enabled.
• Reliable devices. These may include smart watches, fitness bracelets, car systems, tablets, etc.
