I have been trying to hard reset my Lenovo Vibe K5 Note as I have forgotten the login password.
Despite many futile attempts to do it, I am unable to succeed.
While I press and hold on to the power on button and volume down button, screen displays the message
"Have been in meta mode, long press the power button and the normal boot"
After this, I release only the power button while holding on to the volume down button and wait for the next menu to appear.
But nothing happens next. Phone only displays the "Have been in meta mode, long press the power button and the normal boot" and does not proceed beyond.
Kindly someone help me to reset my Lenovo Vibe K5 Note.

Boot Lenovo K5 Note (A7020a48) into Recovery Mode & HARD-RESET

1. First of all, POWER OFF the device. (Keep Pressing Power button. If you stuck on meta mode)
2. Press and hold Volume UP & Volume DOWN and Power buttons together for few seconds.
3. Release the Power button only after vibration and keep pressing Volume UP & Volume DOWN keys until Stock Recovery Mode (in English) appears.
4. Select Clear Data
5. Select Clear User Data. (WARNING : This is a FACTORY RESET. So it wipes Everything. Also maybe your IMEI, MAC ID, Wireless ID can be null or invalid.. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK !!)
6. After the wipe, reboot phone and have a nice day.. :good:
