Have you already tried face unlocks?
or fingerprint

Customer Replay

The only option it's giving me is to type in a pen number no fingerprint no unlocking it with face. The only way I can get into it is with a pin number

author

Factory reset is suitable for you?

Customer Replay

Yes

author

Because it`s going to delete everything of your phone

Customer Replay

There's nothing on the phone anyway
It's brand new

Customer Replay

Okay, let's get there. Tell me how to factory reset it

author

First of all, you need to power your device off
Go back to the screen, scroll down and turn it off

Customer Replay

It's off

Great!
Press Power and Volume down buttons and hold them

Okay I did that and a screen popped up at the top right that says start with an arrow down below that says press the volume keys to select different menu. Down below it it says fast boot mode
What do you want me to do?

And click on it

Customer Replay

It says no command in the Android guys on his back with a red triangle with explanation mark in the middle of it

author

Great!
Once you get to this screen scroll down using volume key and you can see recovery mode
And after choosing, click power button in order to select this option

Customer Replay

No, I see options between reboot system now reboot to bootloader and a fast boot. Apply update from ADB wipe data factory reset. Is that what I need to do? Wipe data factory reset?
There's a view recovery logs
Do I need to wipe data factory reset? Is that what I need to hit?

author

Yes, you need factory reset
But this option will delete everything

Customer Replay

Okay it says data wipe complete. So now what do I need to do reboot system now?

author

Just Power and Volume down buttons and hold them
And reboot

Customer Replay

Okay, it's powering back up and I think I'm good

author

Well done!
Is there anything else I can do for you today?

Customer Replay

No that's it
