How to Unlock Honor If You Forgot Your Password: Without Data Loss, Through Google, Reset to Factory Settings

Reset Honor to Factory Settings to Unlock – Method #1

If you have tried all the methods and nothing helps, or if you do not care about the safety of the data on your device, you can perform a hard reset - reset to factory settings.

Turn off your device.
Remove the memory card from it.
Switch to Recovery mode by simultaneously pressing one of the combinations:

sound reduction + power;
increase sound + power;
volume increase + power + “Home”;
volume reduction + power + “Home”;
increase sound + decrease sound + power.

In the service menu that opens, select Recovery. Control occurs using the volume keys.
Tap on the command “Wipe data/factory reset”.
Confirm the action “Yes”.

In a couple of minutes, your phone will be completely uninstalled. You will receive the device in the same condition in which you purchased it (of course, without a password).

Depending on the model of the Android smartphone, resetting the firmware or resetting the settings to factory settings is carried out differently.

Nokia

You will need to do the following:

Connect the device to a computer that has access to the Internet.
Install app Nokia PC Suite. It allows you to transfer files from your phone memory to your hard drive and perform other useful functions.

Install Nokia Unlocker Tool to unlock.
After recognizing the gadget in the Nokia PC Suite program, immediately activate the second utility.
Request a code so that the utility can unlock the equipment.

If the described option does not help, then you need to contact the service to solve the problem.

Sony Ericsson

Devices from this manufacturer can be unlocked in two ways: via cable and PC, as well as through special software (SEMCtool_v8.4 or TMS 2.45). In the first case, you need to install the paid WotanClient program.

Samsung

A product from this manufacturer offers to create an account after purchase, which can save information in memory if a password or pattern is forgotten. The account is available after entering your login and password. First, you need to go to the Samsung account website, open the “Content and Services” tab and find your device. Press the “Unlock screen” button.

LG

LG has made the most complex protection, so to restore access you will have to use special codes. The main difficulty is that they are made for each specific phone model, so there is no general solution. It is recommended to contact the service center or store where the purchase was made. Employees will be able to help solve the current problem.

HTC

You can remove the password with the key on these phones using the proprietary PC utility HTC Sync:

You need to connect the gadget to the PC.
Install the HTC Sync and the Screen Lock Bypas utility.
Reboot the device and unlock it.

If after these steps the password or key remains, it is recommended to repeat the procedure 1-2 times until functionality is restored.

How to unlock your phone if you forgot your pattern or password

We noted above that there are two ways to unlock Huawei - using a Google account or a complete reset.

The first method allows you to save data on the phone, but it is suitable for phones released before 2014-2015. If the device has an updated version of the OS installed, you will not be able to unlock your Huawei phone this way.

When turned on, the device asks to enter a PIN, and if the user makes a mistake with the numbers, the device is blocked. At first, the blocking lasts for one minute. After the next incorrect entry, it extends for half an hour, then 60 minutes, and so on. When you click on emergency calls, support service, sending a medical record or geolocation is available. Below we will consider both options - optimistic and pessimistic.

How to unlock an OPPO phone - we wrote about this in a separate article.

Using a Google account

If you have an old device with firmware up to 9.0, data recovery is possible. To unlock a Huawei phone if you forgot your password, you need to enter the wrong code several times, wait for the Emergency Call button to appear, and at the top right - Forgot your password? (several options are possible). Next, take these steps:

Click on the recovery button mentioned above (Forgot your password?).
Enter your Google account information. If you suddenly forgot this information, try restoring it via PC.
Write the recovered information into your phone and confirm it.

To unlock your Huawei phone if you have forgotten your digital password, be careful when entering information. When specifying an e-mail address, only the characters before the “dog” are indicated. There is no need to enter the remaining data. During unlocking, you must be connected to the Internet. In this case, you can use your home Wi-Fi network if your smartphone has already connected to it before. If the Internet is connected to the SIM card, no additional actions are required.

Fingerprint

Another way to unlock Huawei if you forgot the pattern key is to use fingerprint data. This option is provided for smartphones with the ability to log into your profile. The action algorithm looks like this:

Log in to the Google website from a PC.
Go to your account. Be careful, because the account must match the one indicated on the smartphone. Otherwise, you will not be able to unlock Huawei.
Follow the link google.com/android/devicemanager?hl=ru and accept the terms of use of the service.
Clean your device.

As you can see, it’s possible to unlock a Huawei phone if you’ve forgotten the pattern password. The downside is that this option does not work for all devices.

Factory reset

A more effective and universal method for unlocking the Huawei screen is to completely reset the smartphone or Hard Reset. The peculiarity of such a reset is that the phone is “reset” to its original state - the factory settings that were installed at the time of purchase. At the same time, all unnecessary programs, firmware, user data, passwords and other programs are removed from the smartphone.

If the reset is successful, there are no more user settings left on the device, which allows you to re-set all parameters. To unlock your Huawei phone using a password this way, follow a series of steps. First, turn off the device and go through the following steps:

Press the volume up and power button.
Wait until the Huawei phone logo appears on the display and release the power button.
Hold your finger on the volume button until the menu loads completely. If you release the button ahead of time, the smartphone boots up in normal mode. If this happens, perform all procedures again.
Once in the graphical menu, go to the Wipe data/factory reset section, and then confirm the action.
Select the Yes button to confirm the factory reset.
Restart your smartphone and enter new keys or passwords. To avoid forgetting them, write down the data in a safe place.

These steps are enough to unlock your Huawei phone if you forgot your PIN code. But keep in mind that all data on the device will be deleted. To restore the information of interest, make a backup copy, and after resetting, download all the data again.

Consider one more important point. On older Huawei smartphones with outdated versions of EMUI, the menu is entered using the volume and power buttons. In the case of new devices, input is carried out through the sensor, and menu items are selected by pressing the display. The names in the reset menu are no different, regardless of the version.

On older devices, the volume button allows you to lower the selection line to the required section, and the power button helps you confirm the necessary actions.

How to Unlock Honor Via Google Account – Method #2

If your mobile device has an Internet connection (via your operator's network or an automatic connection to Wi-Fi) and you have a Google account, then you can use the Find My Device service to unlock your smartphone.

REFERENCE: “Find My Device” from Google is a service that allows you to control your phone remotely, for example, when it is lost or stolen.

Log into your Google account on your tablet or computer.
In the menu, find the “Security” section and go to it.
Next, find the “Your devices” item.
Click on "Manage Devices".
Select the device that is locked and tap “Erase all data from this device.”
Confirm your intention.

After completing all the steps, the smartphone settings will be reset. It will need to be configured again.

How to turn off the graphic key on Honor

One of the main ways to lock the display on Huawei smartphones is a pattern. Typically, these are nine dots on the screen that need to be connected in the correct order. The key is set by the user themselves.

Graphic key in Honor

We also have to disable it manually. If you bought a used phone and cannot unlock it, contact the owner and ask for the appropriate login details.

Procedure:

Open your Honor phone settings;
Select “Security and Privacy”; Select "Privacy and Security"
Next, select the line “Screen lock and passwords”;
Now find the line “Turn off unlock password” and confirm in a new window. Select "Turn off screen unlock password"

Now you can log in to the system without entering a pattern key. If you need to enable it, follow the same path again and activate it. You will need to come up with a new combination of dots for your Honor to connect to answer. You can use the old combination if you like it better. We looked at the instruction to disable the lock if we know the key. Now let's try to disable it if we don't know the key.

Unlock Honor Screen Using Google – Method #3

If your gadget has access to the Internet, it can be accessed through the Google system if the screen is locked.

IMPORTANT: This method can be used by owners of smartphones whose operating system versions are not newer than Android 5.0 (models before 2014).

Enter the key, code or password incorrectly on the device screen 5 times until a message appears indicating that the device is temporarily blocked. The message “Forgot your password” or something similar should appear there.
Click on the indicated inscription. A window will open in which you will be asked to enter registration data (password and login) for the Google account to which the device is linked.
If you have forgotten the password for your Google account, try to recover it using one of the available methods (except “using your phone”) via a computer or tablet.
When you enter your Google account login information on the screen of a locked smartphone, you will be asked to come up with a new combination to log into the device, and the phone will be unlocked.

Unlocking with Hard Reset

In new models of Honor smartphones, password recovery via Google is not possible. This means that the only way to return the device to functionality is a hard reset to factory settings with the loss of all information. To do this you need:

Turn off your smartphone using the power button.
Press and hold the power and hardness buttons at the same time.
Once the logo appears on the screen, you can release the Power button. The volume button must be held until the menu is fully loaded.
Click on the “Wipe Data” line and confirm the action in the next window.

Now all that remains is to set a new password and refill the smartphone with the necessary data.

Call Honor from Another Device to Unlock – Method #4

Every smartphone user knows that in order to receive a call, your phone does not need to be unlocked. This trick can be used to gain access to the gadget’s system if you suddenly forget your pattern key or PIN code.

Call your mobile from another number.
Answer an incoming call on your device.
After starting a conversation, the phone is unlocked. Open the top notification shade.
Go to Settings.
Disable the password.

IMPORTANT: This method is not suitable for gaining access to new generation phones. You can only try to use it if you have a very old Android.

How to avoid this situation

Above, we looked at what a user should do if he forgot the password on his phone, and how to unlock Honor. The first method still gives hope for data recovery, but in the second case you will have to come to terms with their loss. To avoid such problems, it is necessary to take measures immediately after purchasing the device, and then the information in the article will simply not be needed.

Main recommendations:

Use a memorable password or key. When installing a code on your phone, give preference to data that is easy to remember due to its connection with a phone number, date of birth (yours or your loved ones) or other events.
Use Smart Look. In modern models, you can unlock your Honor phone with a fingerprint, using facial recognition or another method. In this case, difficulties with the password are excluded. To set the option, go to Settings, there in the Security and Privacy section. In the next step, set the Face or Fingerprint Recognition settings. There is also an unlock option when connecting to a device via Bluetooth. In this case, you need to enter the Smart blocking section and make the necessary settings. The disadvantage of this method is that it requires entering a PIN code. If you forgot it, this option will not work. Not all Honor phones can be unlocked this way. In some models, after rebooting the device still requires you to enter a digital code. Therefore, you won’t be able to log in using your fingerprint or facial recognition.
Back up the necessary smartphone information. If data is deleted, Honor can be unblocked by returning basic information in whole or in part.
Write down the set password in a notepad that is always at hand. Such forethought will help you remember important information at any time.

Knowing how to unlock Honor if you forgot the password, you can quickly return the device to functionality using a Google account or a hard reset. But if you are the owner of a phone with a new version of the OS, be prepared to completely delete your data without the possibility of recovery. The only salvation is creating a backup copy, so it must be prepared in advance.

Removing Honor Graphic Password Using a PC – Method #5

This option will help protect data on your smartphone if you have forgotten your digital password or pattern key. There is a file in the phone's memory that is responsible for the operation of the pattern key. If you delete it, the system will not ask for a key to enter.

HELP: The method will work if the USB Debugging mode is active on the gadget. It can be enabled through the “Developer Menu”.

Connect your device using a USB cable to your computer or laptop.
Download and install the adb run program.
Run the utility and enter the request “adbBLOCK GEST”.
Confirm deleting the file.

Put a password on the folder

The Android system does not provide an option that allows you to set a password for a specific folder. Although this does not mean that you cannot realize this opportunity. On Google Play you will find many applications that allow you to block access to specific applications or files on your phone.

Why the weather on Honor and Huawei is not updated: reasons, how to fix it?

We would recommend downloading the program – AppLock. Why? One of the main reasons is the convenient and intuitive interface, as well as wide functionality. How to use it?

First of all, install the utility from the market.
Click the “Open” button.
A page opens where the application immediately asks you to come up with a graphic key.
We come up with any and confirm the choice.
In the main menu you will see the entire list of available options. But, since we need to hide and protect files, we click on the “Storage” item.

Select a section, for example, photos or files.
A page will open where the program will prompt you to select certain documents to move to the storage.
To move, click on the castle image on the bottom panel. If you want to select all documents at once, click on the checkboxes below.

As you already understood, the selected files will be moved to this application. That is, to access them, you need to open AppLock, enter the pattern and go to the storage.

Unlocking Honor Using an Internet Connection – Method #6

This method of unlocking a smartphone screen also involves using a Google account. The main thing is not only to enter the correct information to log into your account, but also to ensure access to the Internet.

Reboot your device.
After switching on, a “curtain” will appear at the top of the display. Unfold it.
Tap "Mobile Data" or the "Wi-Fi" button.

If you can’t pull out the curtain, you can use the system code to ensure a connection via Wi-Fi:

Tap the "Emergency Call" button (located on the lock screen).
Enter the command: *#*#7378423#*#*.
Go to the Service Tests/ Service Provider tab.
Next - “WLAN”.
Connect to Wi-Fi.

HELP: If it is not possible to provide access to Wi-Fi, you can insert a SIM card with a working Internet connection into the device and log into your Google account.

Smart Look

Smart Look – additional ways to unlock the screen when a password is not required. Suitable for devices that can be configured to unlock using a photo, fingerprint and smart unlock. In this case, you won’t need to think about what to do if you forgot the alphabetic password: the smartphone will still be unlocked.

You can configure smart unlocking through Settings:
Open the “Security and Privacy” item.
To set up a fingerprint, click on “Fingerprint”.
To enable face unlocking, click on “Face Recognition”.
To unlock when connecting a Bluetooth device, click on “Lock Screen Password”, then go to the “Smart Unlock” tab and configure the device.

Huawei phones will require you to enter a password after rebooting the device, even if it has other unlocking methods installed, including fingerprint or face login.

Nuances and problems that may arise

Let's consider the difficulties of each option, which in theory and in practice may arise when trying to unlock.

A Google account that is not yours will not be allowed into the system. Use exclusively the account that was previously on the phone.
When entering your login from your Google account, only the characters that come before the “@” sign are entered in the line.
Do a full restore and Hard Reset only when the device is charged more than 35%. Otherwise, the phone may not have enough energy to start, and it will turn into a “brick”.
If you want to save data on an external storage device, remove it from the gadget slot.
Couldn't you restore access on your own? Take it to the service center. However, choose your repairmen carefully and carefully. Low-quality and dubious establishments can force you to pay more, ruin your equipment and mood. Therefore, before visiting a service center for equipment maintenance, look for real clients of the establishment and read the reviews.

Unlocking Honor Through Smart Lock Options – Method #7

This option for resetting a locked screen password is only possible on phone models no older than 2015 (Android 5.0 and older). It was from this time that the Smart Lock function became available on electronic devices.

HELP: To use this method, you must have set up the Smart Lock feature in advance. You can find the option in the gadget settings in the section responsible for the lock screen and security.

The Smart Lock feature allows you to set your phone lock settings depending on three parameters:

"Trusted devices";
"Safe Places";
“Physical contact” / “Face recognition”.

Reliable devices	Safe places	"Physical Contact" or "Face Recognition"
If the phone is connected via Bluetooth to a device (watch, car communication system, another smartphone, tablet) that is added to the list of trusted ones, it will be unlocked.	The phone is not blocked or must be unlocked in places that are included in the safe list. GPS must be turned on.	Different devices provide different variations of this option. FC – the device remains unlocked as long as it is in contact with the owner (in motion). RL – the smartphone is blocked if it recognizes your face as its owner (you need to look at the front camera).

– Method #8

You can unlock your gadget's screen if you have forgotten your PIN code through the power management system.

ATTENTION: This method does not work on modern devices. You can try your luck with this method only on older Androids.

Wait until the phone's charge drops to 10-15%.
When the low battery message appears, click on the link that takes you to the battery menu (power management settings).
From there, go to the device security section.
Disable the password.

Open the utility.
Click on the number “6” on your keyboard – “Unlock Gesture Key”. The smartphone should reboot.
Enter the new code on your phone screen.

ATTENTION: The method will not work with all devices.

Ways to unlock HUAWEI/Honor if you forgot your password

As mentioned earlier, we tried to collect all known unlocking methods. We tested each of them, but we were not always able to reproduce them successfully: they only work on specific devices. Unfortunately, we don’t have enough resources, so write in the comments which method worked for you. This will allow us to know exactly how useful the material was.

Method 1 - remember your password

Yes, very banal. We decided not to ignore the limitless possibilities of our memory and found the best ways to unlock its potential. Some of them were suggested to us by psychologists who use these techniques in their consultations.

First, try to remember in what environment this password was created. The room, events, environment at this moment will help activate certain triggers in memory and enable active brain function. This method often helps, especially in cases where a new password was recently set.

Meme from Sberbank on this topic

Turn on the keyboard on your device or copy it into Notepad so that it exactly matches the keys on the lock screen. At the moment of remembering, point your pen or finger where your brain tells you to. In this way, a chain can be formed and your fingers, out of habit, will write the password for you.

Meditation in this case may seem like a strange method, but according to psychologists, it works. Don't think about anything at all during meditation. Free your mind. The situation in the head will be relieved, after which the brain will begin to work more actively in the right direction. We, like technology, sometimes just need a reboot.

Method 2 - factory reset

The most radical and most working method. The data will be reset and can only be restored if there is a backup copy.

Turn off your device.
Press the power button and volume up button. Hold them for at least 15 seconds. If your device doesn't have the appropriate buttons, turn it on as usual. Turn on vibration mode (mute) and press the power button 5 times.
A system menu will appear on the screen, which can be navigated either by touching or using the volume buttons. If it is in Russian, select the option related to resetting or clearing data. If in English, the option will be called “reset/wipe data”.
Agree to continue and wait until the end.

Watch the video instructions to understand the process visually:

The device will reboot on its own. If this doesn't happen, do it yourself.

Method 3 - Unlock HUAWEI/Honor via Google Account

It only works with devices connected to the Internet, and not with all of them. Try entering your password more than five times. If the “Forgot your password?” button appears, click on it and follow the instructions. You will be taken to the Google account login window, after which the screen will be unlocked.

Read on topic: Google Play services: install without PC and USB

Method 4 - Unlock HUAWEI and Honor on older versions of EMUI (9 and below)

EMUI 9 or an older version of the shell is a prerequisite for this item. Everything is the same as in the previous paragraph: enter the wrong password several times and recover it using a special button.

Method 5 - if you forgot your HUAWEI account password

You don't even need a phone for this.

Go to the HUAWEI account login page and click “Forgot your password?”. You will begin the recovery procedure, where you will need to enter some account information, such as email, phone number or login.

Flashing Honor to Unlock Password – Method #10

This method is universal. It will work on any smartphone model. The bottom line is that the device's operating system must be completely uninstalled and reinstalled. Of course, all files and data from the device (including the specified password) will be deleted along with the OS.

Preparatory steps:

Charge the device's battery or make sure it has at least 50% charge;
Find out the current OS version for your smartphone (“Menu” – “Settings” – “About phone”).

Option 1. Through a computer

There are many programs with which you can flash an Android phone: Fastboot, Odin, KDZ Updater, Flash Tool, etc.

Download one of the specified programs to your PC (it is better to download to drive C so that the path to it is C:\Android). We will look at the process using Fastboot as an example.
Connect your smartphone using a USB cable to your PC. The automatic installation of drivers should begin.
Download the firmware that matches your phone version. It should download in a zip archive.
Move the archive to the C:\Android folder.
Unlock the bootloader on your phone:

go to the Start menu;
enter “CMD” into the search engine;
select cmd.exe and right-click on the file;
further – “run as administrator”;
in the command line enter C:\Android\Tools;
press Enter;
enter the command fastboot devices.

If the program correctly recognizes your device, its code will appear. This means that the device is ready for firmware. If the message “waiting for device” is displayed, you need to disconnect the device and repeat the above steps again.
If everything works, enter the command “fastboot update firmware file name.zip”.
The Android firmware process should start. When the procedure is finished, restart your smartphone.

Option 2. Through Recovery

Recovery is a special mode on your smartphone. To get into it, you need to turn off the phone and hold down certain buttons.

HELP: Each Android device model has its own buttons. This could be the power + volume up key; Home button + power + volume up, etc.

Download the firmware file.
Transfer it to the root system of your smartphone using a USB cable.
Go to Recovery mode.
Find the section with the firmware (“apply update from externel storage”, “apply update from sdcard”, etc.).
Select the downloaded file and tap on it. The firmware process will begin.

Option 3. Via ROM MANAGER

This firmware method is not popular because Root rights are required to use ROM Manager.

Download the ROM Manager program.
Download the required firmware for your gadget.
Connect your smartphone to your PC using a USB cable.
Open the utility.
Copy the zip file with the firmware to your phone's memory.
In the program menu, click on “Install ROM from SD card”.
Find the archive with the firmware and tap on it.
Next - “Reboot and installation”.
Check the box next to “Save current ROM” (this will allow you to restore the previous version of the OS if something goes wrong).
Confirm your actions with the “Ok” button.

ATTENTION: Reflashing is a radical method. In the hands of an inexperienced user, it can be detrimental to the stable operation of the device. Therefore, if you do not understand smartphones and are not confident in your abilities, it is better to contact a specialist.

How to find out the password for a WiFi network on a Huawei modem?

So, you have a mobile 4G modem from Huawei or a wifi router that you use to wirelessly distribute mobile Internet to other devices. But you don't know what password you need to use to connect to it. In this case, a sticker will help, which is located on the case under the circuit cover covering the SIM card slot.

The wireless network name and password for connection are indicated here. However, you need to understand that this data is used only for the initial setup. If you have previously made changes to the WiFi settings and forgot them, then you need to look for the current authorization key on your computer or smartphone. How to do this is described in detail in other articles on our website.

When to change your security key

After purchasing a new router, you need to not only connect it to a power outlet and a computer, but also configure it correctly, including setting a password for access to the wireless network. However, many people skip this point, and the security key is installed by default. Any Internet user who is within range of a wifi signal can connect to it, knowing the name of the router, which is usually the name of the default network. By entering your router model into the search bar in your browser, you can quickly find the standard password set by the equipment manufacturer.

You should suspect the connection of strangers to your wireless network in the following cases:

Connection speed decreases. This applies to all devices connected to the Huawei router via a wired or wireless network. The signal arriving via the Internet cable is distributed over several connections, as a result of which the speed is evenly distributed. As a rule, those who like to connect to a neighbor’s wifi not only browse sites in a browser, but also try to download large files, as a result of which the connection owner’s speed will be much lower than advertised.
Allowed traffic has been exceeded. In most cases, modern home Internet tariffs provide unlimited access, that is, they do not limit the user’s traffic, but there are other options with a certain limit. If previously the user had enough of the provided quota, and for some time the traffic ends very quickly, you need to think about third-party connections.
Provider printout does not match. You can order a detailed report from any provider, which will show when access to the Internet was made, and how much data was transmitted or received. If you know for sure that on a certain day you did not go online at all, and the printout indicates the opposite, you need to change the security key for the wireless network on the Huawei router.

To avoid unpleasant situations, it is recommended to change the wifi password when setting up the router for the first time.

Reset Honor Password Using Aroma File Manager – Method #11

How to change the password on the wireless network of a Huawei router

Huawei routers are often used to access the Internet; this company is known for high-quality equipment that provides access to the World Wide Web, and this includes both modems and routers. On any device that provides access to a wireless wifi network, you must change the password from the standard one, otherwise any Internet user will be able to connect to a free signal. Not everyone knows how to do this, so they either leave the problem unattended or invite professional technicians to do it, but you can change the access code to the wifi network yourself.

Procedure for changing the security key

Not every Internet user knows how to change the wifi password on a Huawei router, but doing it is quite simple and quick. The whole process takes no more than 5 minutes, and professional craftsmen in different regions can charge from 500 to 1,500 rubles for such a service.

To perform the necessary actions, you will need a computer or laptop connected to the router via a wired or wireless network. You can also use mobile devices, such as a smartphone or tablet computer, but in this case the procedure will be less convenient and will take more time.

To set up a password, it is not necessary to connect to the Internet; it is enough that all the wires are in their sockets. To change the access code, you need to open any browser that is installed on the system and enter the combination “192.168.1.1” or “192.168.100.1” in the address bar. The system will redirect you to the web configurator page, where you need to enter your login and password. If you have not changed them, they remain standard, so you must enter the word “admin” on each line. If the combination does not work, look at the bottom of the router; there should be a sticker on it indicating the IP address of the router and the combination to access it.

When the login and password have been successfully entered, the main page of the configurator will open, where you can see the characteristics of the router and wireless network. There are no changeable data on the main page; they are presented for review and, if necessary, comparison with the readings declared by the provider.

To set up a password for wifi, you need to select the “Basic” section and the “Wireless Lan” subsection in it in the left list of tabs. Some firmware versions have a different interface, all sections are located in the top horizontal line, in it you need to select the WLAN item, otherwise all actions will be identical.

In the window that opens, in the SSID field you must enter the name of the wireless network; by default, it is named according to the router model, but it is recommended to change it to ensure better protection. Then you need to determine the encryption certificate, it is set in the Authentication Type field, the most optimal is WPA2-PSK. You can leave all other points unchanged and enter a new password in the Pre-Shared Key line; it must consist of at least 8 characters. To save the changes made, you need to click the “Submit” button in the old firmware version, and in the new one you need to go to the “System Tolls” item and click the “Save Configuration” button.

Go to the settings interface

The first thing you need to do to change the password on a Huawei Wi-Fi router for any provider (Rostelecom, Kazakhtelecom and others) is to open any browser on your computer and enter one of the following options in the address bar:

192.168.1.1;
198.168.0.1;
192.168.100.1.

A window for entering your login and password will appear on the screen. There are many standard combinations. The table below shows the most popular ones.

Login	Password
telecomadmin	admintelecom
telecomadmin	NWTF5x%RaK8mVbD
telecomadmin	NWTF5x%
telecomadmin	NEjA%5m
root	admin

As a rule, such data is indicated on the back cover of the router.

If the entered combination does not match, it means the password has been changed. In this case, you need to reset to factory settings, then the data indicated on the case will become relevant again.

It is important to understand that along with the password, your Internet connection will also be reset. The device will need to be configured again.

Instructions on how to reset settings to factory settings:

Plug the router into a power outlet;
Press the “Reset” button for 15 seconds. If the button is pressed into the housing, use a paper clip or pen to press it;
Wait until the router reboots.

After this, everyone is recommended to change the password for the WEB interface of the Huawei router:

We look for the “System Tools” menu, go to “Modify Login Password”.
In the “New Password” line we enter a new access code to the settings.
In the “Confirm Password” field we confirm the new data.

After changing the authorization data, do not forget to save it with the “Apply” button.

We make adjustments

Once the correct password and login have been entered, the user is taken to the settings web page. For all Huawei routers it is almost the same, regardless of which provider provided you with the equipment - ByFly, Rostelecom or Kazakhtelecom.

The general instructions for changing the Wi-Fi password on Huawei routers look like this:

In the top line, select the “WLAN” tab.
On the left, select the “SSID Name” item and enter the name of your connection here. For example, “ByFly” or “Rostelecom” (any word is possible, it doesn’t matter).
Next, check that the “WPA2 Personal...” certificate is entered in the “Authentication Mode” line. It gives maximum protection to the connection. You can also select “WPA-PSK” if the first one is not in the search list. If everything was done correctly, “AES” (this type of encryption) should be displayed in the line below.
In the line “WPA2 Pre Shared Key” you can change the Wi-Fi password on Huawei routers. Enter the security code you came up with. It must consist of at least 8 characters.
Click on the “Apply” button.

Select the “System Tools” tab at the top.
In the menu on the left, make the “Configuration File” item active and click the “Save Configuration” button. In the window that appears, confirm your actions with the “OK” button.

After all the steps, you need to reboot the router. This can be done in the “Reboot” section.

Unlocking Honor Using an Additional Account – Method #14

The possibility of using this method depends on the presence of three components:

there must be more than one authorized user on the smartphone;
Each user account must have the SuperSU utility;
The owner must have root rights.

HELP: Root rights give full access to the Android device system, in particular, to system files and settings from the developer.

A specific password is set for one user’s account, making it possible to access the phone through another user’s account.

Log in to the second user's account.
Launch SuperSU.
Tap on “dataàsystem”.
Delete the file with the graphic key and objects with the extension db-shm, db, db-wal.

Is it possible to restore access without losing data?

The question of saving information depends on how to unlock your Honor phone. On outdated devices with an OS version up to EMUI 9.0, this option is provided. The user will be able to regain access to the smartphone and save the settings. In new devices, the manufacturer abandoned this function, and the only way to unlock an Honor phone if you forgot the graphic password is a Hard Reset with complete removal of information from the device. Accordingly, it will not be possible to restore information (if a backup copy was not previously made).

– Method #15

Have you tried all the methods, but they did not bring the desired result? It's time to contact a specialist: a service center or any trusted gadget repair shop.

It may take some time, and it is not free, but you will be able to save all the data on your smartphone and avoid the risk of turning your electronic device into an “expensive brick.”

In this review, we have collected the most popular ways to unlock a phone screen if the owner has forgotten the password. For most smartphones they will be sufficient. However, it is better to try to remember your PIN codes and graphic signs, or write them down somewhere to prevent situations from arising when you have to puzzle over how to unlock your mobile phone.

How to protect yourself from data loss

When using the main reset methods, the Honor owner loses the saved data. To prevent this from happening, follow these simple tips:

Always save a copy of the data, which helps to return information if you lose access to the device. After the reset, it is easy to return all personal information.
Pre-set up smart unlocking, for example, by face, fingerprint, or connection to some Bluetooth-enabled device.
Write down your PIN code separately so that if necessary, you can remember it at any time.
