Huawei P10 screen unlock

[Franco999]

My new P10 arrived today and I have set it up and transferred data from my old Sony Xperia.  I was setting up fingerprint security and found that I do not remember my screen unlock code.  I thought I had it right, but not the case.  I have used three out of my five attempts and I am now in a state of panic.  I can probably do a hard reset, but will this erase all the data that I have transfered?

I used to be able to use Live Chat with a Guru but that appears not to be available.

Can anyone help?

Usually after 5 attempts it will ask you to login with your google id.
A factory reset will clear it but will also reset everything back to factory settings.

As part of the setup, I registered with Huawei and set a password.  I don't remember actually setting a password for screen unlock.  I do know my Google password.  Do I need to remove the additional memory card before a reset?

No need to remove your sd card
