1. After typing wrong password continuously for 5 times, you will see a screen with message “Phone has been locked” with “Forgot Password” option at the bottom.
2. Now you need to tap on Forgot password.
3. If you have entered Google or Xiaomi accounts on your device, you can choose any one for resetting the device password.
4. Once selected, enter the valid password for that account and tap on Sign in.
5. That’s it! Now you can set a new Password/PIN/Pattern for your Redmi and Mi mobile.
The above is the only method to reset the forgotten password on your Xiaomi phones without any data loss. The another method to get access to your device in case of phone locked due to number of wrong attempts is not through hard reset your device. But doing so, all your mobile data will be deleted (media, contacts, apps, accounts). To perform hard reset, power off your phone and boot into custom recovery (Power + Volume up key together). From recovery, choose Wipe Data / Factory Reset and confirm the action using Power button. Once done, reboot the device into system mode. Now you device will be restored to factory settings.
