Password Changed on Its Own?

[REDACTED136]

I recently think that my password changed, as I couldn't unlock my phone using PIN, I do remember my password being 4 numbers but now its requires 5 numbers. Does this happen to anyone else and how do I fix this?

It can never automatically change your PIN or password.

Wrong!  Mine just did the same thing

Did you try restating the phone? Is it saying incorrect PIN or completely locked up.

This happened to me aswell.

If normal restart doesn't help, try restart to safe mode and enter your PIN.

Kindly visit the service center to unlock the phone.

I have this issue aswell as of today. I cant restart the phone, go into safe mode or anything without the password!!! I cant do anything at all! I know exactly what my password is, and the phone does not accept it! 😠
