POCO M6 5G: Fix Lock Screen PIN Not Accepted & Forgotten PIN Issues

Understanding PIN Issues

• 💡 Ensure you are entering the lock screen PIN and not the SIM card PIN, as these are often confused.
• ⚠️ If the PIN is still not accepted after re-entry, consider that you might have forgotten it.

Contacting Xiaomi Support

• 📞 If you believe you've forgotten your PIN and cannot remember it, the recommended first step is to contact Xiaomi customer support.
• 🔑 Providing proof of ownership, such as a receipt, may allow them to help you regain access without data loss.

Factory Reset Options

• ⚙️ If contacting support is not an option, a factory reset can be performed using Google's Find My Device service.
• 💻 Sign in to your Google account on the Find My Device website using any other device, select your POCO M6 5G, and choose the factory reset option.
• ⚠️ Alternatively, a factory reset can be done via recovery mode; a separate video on this process is available on the channel.

Using Safe Mode to Fix PIN Entry

• 🚀 If you remember your PIN but it's not working, try entering it in safe mode to bypass potential third-party app interference.
• 🔑 To enter safe mode: press and hold the volume up and power buttons, slide to reboot, and once the Xiaomi logo appears, hold the volume down button until the phone vibrates.
• ✅ Once in safe mode, try entering your PIN again. If successful, navigate to Settings > Fingerprints, Face data & screen lock, enter your PIN, and select 'Turn off screen lock'.
• 🔄 Finally, restart your device normally to regain access with the screen lock disabled.
