Android Question How to create an app to bypass the lockscreen or reset phone to the factory default.

[toby]

I can't log into a Vivo y83 phone because I've forgot both the password and the answer to the security questions. "Find My device" feature doesn't work for me because it wasn't registered for that.

Now I want to be able to reuse the phpne again by either bypassing the lockscreen or resetting it to the factory default.

Could someone show me how, if possible at all, to write a B4A app for such purpose?

BTW, I don't need to save any data on the phone.

TIA.

Yes, unfortunately, as least for the phone in question.

Have you try to unlock it or recover the answer or password from your gmail account?
