Forgot unlock pass, asked after a full wipe, any solution?

[kipue]

Hello all,
I realize this is probably not a device specific issue but here it is:
My wife forgot the unlock password to her Redmi Note 8T, since nothing to lose we wiped data from the recovery.
Problem is that the phone asks for old password at the following reboot. It happens on my phone as well, but I do remember my password everytime so I don't have any issue lol.
Any way to get past this? Obviously no data to lose anymore so any solution no matter how "wipy" will be very welcome!

Thanks

if you have a custom recovery like TWRP installed then it's possible to remove lockscreen password
in TWRP go to advanced > file manager
then go to /data/system folder..Here delete the locksettings.db file and you would be good to go...
If that still doesn't work then also delete the following files in /data/system folder

password.key
pattern.key
locksettings.db-shm
locksettings.db-wal

Yes, thanks, but unfortunately the phone is not rooted, and since I won't be able to get into the settings to unlock bootloader...
Might have to get in touch with Redmi then :crying:

hi...you don't need root...just an unlocked bootloader with twrp or any custom recovery installed..
