If you protected your Huawei phone with a screen lock PIN or pattern and forgot those security passcodes, you don’t have to worry as the Huawei lock screen removal process is easy. However, while you can quickly regain full access to your device, you may lose all your data.
Nevertheless, if you have everything backed up or uploaded to the Cloud, you can restore your files in no time once you start using your smartphone normally and sign in with the same Google account.
With that said, in the following sections, you will learn how to remove the screen lock on Huawei with the company-suggested method and efficient third-party tools that may make the entire process pretty easy. The two most common methods have helped several users with identical issues across the globe.
Method 1: Use eRecovery Mode to Factory Reset Huawei Phone
In this section, you will learn how to remove the screen lock password on Huawei by putting your phone into eRecovery Mode and factory resetting it from there.
WARNING
This method wipes all the data from your phone. If you have backed up your files to the Cloud, you can get them back easily. If the case is otherwise, you will lose everything for good and forever. Therefore, you must think twice before proceeding.
Step 1: Get to the eRecovery Mode
Long press the Power button on your Huawei phone to turn it off. Next, press down and hold the Power and Volume Up buttons until the smartphone enters the eRecovery Mode.
Step 2: Factory Reset Your Huawei Phone
On the eRecovery Mode screen, tap Clear data and on the next screen that appears, tap Factory reset. On the confirmation screen, type Yes, and tap Factory reset to begin the factory reset process.
Note: If your phone doesn’t support touch inputs in eRecovery Mode, you can use the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons to navigate through the options, and press the Power button to make a selection.
Step 3: Set Up Your Phone
Once the factory reset is complete, tap Back, and tap Restart from the main screen. Wait while your phone restarts and finalizes the factory reset task, and takes you to the Welcome screen. You can continue setting up your Huawei phone from there normally.
