Hi,

 

Desperate for some help please..............

 

I have either forgotten or my patterned unlock on my Huawei Mate P20 Pro has locked and I can't gain access to my phone.

 

Have sussed that I can do a hard reset, but then lose everything off of my phone, really want to avoid that if I can, is there anyway of doing a "forgotten passcode" or similar?

 

Really grateful for any advice. I've exhausted all avenues.

 

Fingers crossed.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Gary

Keep entering a wrong pattern around 10 times and it will ask if you want to login with your Google account details.

Thanks for the quick reply @MI5 however, it is now saying I have to wait one hour and then try again, then I only get 2 attempts, then it blocks me for another hour. Nothing about login with my Google account......... Any ideas please?

No other way I know of but it will give you the option eventually.

Thank you, I've just entered the pattern unlock again and failed, blocked me for another hour, perhaps I need to do this 10 times? 

 

I'll give it a go anyway, last resort is a hard reset.

 

Thanks again.

You'll still need the pattern lock to do a hard reset.
