OnePlus 15R: How to Recover Your Lock Screen Password

Initial Steps: Alternative Unlock & Backup

• 💡 If you have Face ID or fingerprint unlock enabled, use it to access your device.
• 💾 Back up your data to the cloud (e.g., Google Cloud) or a computer before proceeding.

Resetting from Settings

• ⚙️ Navigate to Settings → System & Update → Backup and Reset.
• 🗑️ Select Reset Phone and then Erase All Data to perform a factory reset.

OnePlus Support for Data Recovery

• 📞 If you cannot access your device, contact OnePlus customer support.
• 🧾 Providing proof of ownership (like a purchase receipt) may allow them to reset your password without erasing data.

Factory Reset Options (Data Loss Involved)

• 🔄 If direct support isn't an option, a factory reset is necessary. You have two primary methods if a Google account is linked:
  • 🛠️ Recovery Mode: Refer to the channel's separate video for detailed steps on performing a factory reset via recovery mode.
  • 🌐 Google Find My Device (FindHub): Sign in to your Google account on another device via a web browser and use the FindHub service to remotely factory reset your OnePlus 15R.

Safe Mode for Third-Party App Interference

• ⚠️ If you remember your password but the phone won't accept it, a third-party app might be interfering.
• 🚀 To troubleshoot, boot into Safe Mode: Press and hold the power button and volume up key, swipe to power off, then hold the volume down button as the phone restarts until the Android logo appears.
• ✅ Once in Safe Mode (indicated at the bottom left), you can try entering your password.
• 🔒 If successful, go to Settings → Security & Privacy → Device Unlock → Screen Lock, re-enter your password, and select Turn Off Password to remove it. Reboot normally afterward.
