Infinix Smart 9 forgot screen password

 Infinix Smart 9 forgot screen password lock how to unlock

If you’ve forgotten the screen lock (PIN, pattern, or password) on your Infinix Smart 9, there are a few methods you can try to unlock the device. Here are the most common methods, but please note that some of them may lead to data loss, so it’s important to back up your data whenever possible.
Method 1: Use Google Find My Device (If You Have a Google Account Linked)

If your Infinix Smart 9 is connected to the internet and has a Google account linked, you may be able to unlock it using Google Find My Device.
Steps:

    Go to the Google Find My Device website on a computer or another device:
    Google Find My Device
    Log in with the Google account linked to your Infinix Smart 9.
    Once logged in, select your device from the list of devices.
    Click on the "Lock" option.
    Enter a new password or PIN in the provided field (you can set a new password to unlock the phone).
    After setting the new password, use it to unlock your phone.

This method works only if:

    Your phone is connected to the internet.
    You have a Google account linked to the phone.
    The "Find My Device" feature is enabled on the phone.

Method 2: Hard Reset (Factory Reset)

If the Google Find My Device method doesn't work, you can perform a hard reset (factory reset). A factory reset will erase all data on the device, including apps, contacts, photos, and messages, so it should be considered as a last resort.
Steps to Perform a Factory Reset on Infinix Smart 9:

    Power off the device:
        Press and hold the Power button until the power off options appear.
        Tap on Power off and wait for the phone to shut down completely.

    Enter Recovery Mode:
        Once the phone is off, press and hold the Volume Up button and the Power button simultaneously.
        Continue holding both buttons until the Infinix logo appears, then release both buttons.

    Navigate to the Wipe Data Option:
        After a few moments, the Android Recovery screen will appear.
        Use the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons to navigate through the options.
        Highlight "Wipe data/factory reset" and press the Power button to select it.

    Confirm the Factory Reset:
        The phone will ask you to confirm. Use the Volume buttons to select "Yes" and press the Power button to confirm.

    Wait for the Reset to Complete:
        The phone will start wiping the data, and the process may take a few minutes.
        Once completed, you will see the option to "Reboot system now".

    Reboot the Phone:
        Select "Reboot system now" to restart your phone.
        The phone will reboot and the pattern lock will be removed, and the device will be restored to factory settings.

Method 3: Use Infinix's Customer Support (If Needed)

If you're unable to unlock your device using the above methods, or if you're concerned about data loss, you can contact Infinix customer support. They may have specific solutions to help unlock the device, though you will need to provide proof of ownership.
Important Notes:

    Factory Reset Protection (FRP): If your phone is running Android 5.1 or higher and you perform a factory reset, FRP (Factory Reset Protection) will be activated. This means that after the reset, you will need to log in with the Google account that was previously linked to the phone to complete the setup process.

    Data Backup: If possible, back up your data before performing any reset to avoid losing important information. However, if the device is locked and you cannot access the system, you may not be able to perform a backup unless you use external software before resetting the phone.

    Battery Charge: Make sure your phone has at least 50% battery before proceeding with a factory reset to avoid interruptions during the process.
