Hi guys. I have a Nokia 7.1 and I've forgotten the password for the unlock screen. It's an old phone that I stopped using for months cause the charging port was bad, we'll I've fixed the charging port now but I've forgotten the password. Please is there any way at all to unlock my phone WITHOUT LOSING MY DATA? I don't wanna factory reset it. I've tried to use Find My Device to unlock it following a guide I saw on the internet but that didn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to your replies. Thank you.

Hey Guys,
Hopefully someone can help me out since I can't seem to find answers anywhere to my problem. I got an unlock code from T-Mobile but when I put a foreign sim into the phone is says "invalid sim, 0 attempts remain". I got the phone on craigslist so I'm guessing whoever had it before me tried unlocking it with the wrong code too many times. I have the right code now, how do I reset the attempts? I can't believe that the phone is hard locked and there isn't anything I can do about it. It's pretty frustrating so any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!!!
really???? no one knows anything about this issue?
So people here know how to put different operating systems on phones but no one knows if it is possible to reset the sim unlock counter?????
the phone is hard locked and (certainly in most cases) can now only be unlocked by using a hardware unlocker. (for most phones, you get three attempts via the keypad, and a further 10 via a hardware connection normally.)
thanks for the reply! what exactly does hardware unlocking mean? would i still need to use the code given to me by t-mobile?
speak to a phone shop (or better yet speak to t mobile first)
have you tried to restore the phone to factory(not a hard reset). I would try going to Tmobiles website and try to update the rom...

^is for US phones I just did mine today because the guy that put android on it removed the unlock screen and I was unable to unlock the phone. And no one on here was able to answer any questions for me so don't feel bad.
Got it unlocked last night! turns out the sim card i was using was locked. i tried a different one and it let me key in the code. thanks for all the help!
now that the phone is unlocked would doing a hard reset lock it back up?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
good stuff. No, flashing / hard resets will not ever lock the phone now.
Hi Guyz!!
My Kung-Fu Master has forgotten the unlock pattern he set up on its Folio.. It should have stock rom of december.
No matter how hard I try, I cannot get into the recovery window... Does anybody knows some method for unlock the tablet?
Or I have to reset it to factory?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Please try one of this tricks, but I doubt it will work without a factory Reset:

Hey guys I have a problem here. Today I encrypted my Galaxy Win and everything went ok, but when it restarted it asked for a password. The system didn't ask me to create a password during the process, and now I can't unlock my phone. I tried my regular password but it won't work. Is there any way to fix it? Or the only solution is hard reset? Thanks in advance.
My friend asked if i could help with his phone. He recently got a new sim card and found out his phone is locked.
Everything on his phone is the way it came out of the factory, nothing has been change... So, for all info on the hardware just google 'acer liquid z520'.
While searching for a way to unlock it, i stumbled upon these sites: http://www.tntts.com/2016/07/open-line-acer-liquid-z520.html & https://www.phcorner.net/threads/230676/
Is this really a way you can unlock the phone? I never saw this kind of way, I thought you needed to unlock bootloader and/or flash some new rom...
Tried searching for a similar thread, did not find anything, sorry if i missed something.
If this is not a legit way to unlock this phone, please point me in the right direction. He would like to avoid paying 20$ to unlock it and waiting for another year for the contract to end is also not an option.
Thanks for the help.
So i bought a used phone and its locked by a google account. Tried to wipe, factory reset, hard reset, multiple softwares on pc, and even contacting the seller, without success.
What do i do now?
Thanks in advance, and greetings from austria.
Did you ever get an answer to this? I know it probably won't help now but I managed to unlock the FRP by swapping SIM cards from other carriers. This was in an effort to 'Unlock' the phone which I'm still trying to do. The FRP appears to be unlocked but I can't get the phone to ask for the unlock code that I have. If you or indeed anyone else has a solution I'd be grateful to hear it.
Thanks.
