Hi
I bought Redmi Note 3 for my wife 3 days ago, used.
On the phone was LOS 14, but some things like phone calls were not working as it should (the phone call screen would not show up at all), so I decided to flash MIUI.
After reading XDA and internet, I managed to do so, I flashed V9.6.2.0 MHOMIFD, and after booting first time MIUI
I get activation screen.
Mi account was 165***793, and the associated phone number was from the guy who I bought the phone, so I think, I'll just ask him the password, and thats it.
He said, the phone number is correct, but Mi account is not his, his starts with 169***xxx.
He said thats why his friend flashed LOS on the phone, because of this problem.
When I try to reset password i type his phone number, he gets the code, and forward to me, I typed it, and then I reset password.
Try that password on the phone, not working, said wrong username or password.
When I log on miui website with his account, his ID is different then the one on the phone, but his phone number is correct on the phone because it is associated with that ID, but don't have access to that ID.
Is there any way to use this phone normally on MIUI, or how can I get pass this screen, or reset that password, becouse I know that phone number, but MIUI account is different than the one that is tied to that phone number. I would like if there is any 'official' way of geting that password, I am tired of flashing, fastbooting.
I hope you get what I want to say, sorry for my English.

U cant officially unlock coz its already associated with number.
Fasboot flash latest beta miui 10 rom. Unlock unofficially and flash custom oreo or pie rom.
Staying on stock rom will always ask for valid mi acount.
So better unlock unofficiallly on latest miui10 rom.
And use custom rom.
Thank you. I unlock it like this https://in.c.mi.com/thread-857678-1-0.html
Problem is solved.

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?
https://i.imgur.com/cbo5EyG.jpg
Just unlocked the device and the device restarted but i'm confused what to do on this screen?
First option seems to require a phone number, but i don't have a xiaomi phone and im not sure i assigned my phone number to the mi account.
not sure what the wifi option does... it gives me a qr code but it doesn't seem to do anything from my note 9, besides change wifi?
Any help would be super, thanks!
nvm: first option was asking for your miui password...
Asks for your account.. doesnt have to br phone number, xiaomi accounts can also use email.. in my case it asked only password i think.
u just need enter your password without internet. Pass! :good:
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.
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.
Okay, I dont know what I'm doing wrong but I cant get into the phone. Here is what I did, I installed the MIUI 11 vs 11.0.8 and when I turned on the phone, it asks me to verify the account using MI account. so I type my password and theyre asking for the code sent to me via sms. But I cant access my sms from there. I tried resend several time and it happens the same every time. What do I do?
