Hello!

Today I changed my lockscreen password and now I can't remember it. Is there any way to remove the password without hard resetting the device? If not, how do I perform a hard reset without voiding my warranty. Thank you!

There is a reset method to restore the phone to factory defaults in case you have forgotten your pass code.

Make sure the charger is disconnected.

  1. Switch the power Off.
  2. Press and hold the Volume down and connect the charger, if successful an exclamation mark (!) is shown on the screen. Then input Keysin the following order:

1. Volume up

2. Volume down

3. Power

4. Volume down

The phone will now reset and boot up automatically into an out of the box condition and restored to factory defaults. (Credit to user CJlim for finding this reset).

    I am using a Nokia Lumia 920 and totally pleased with the unit. i used a screen lock yesterday and forgot the code hence i am unable to get to use the phone. tried the soft reset many gave and i also tried the two methods popularly given for hard resets as well. still no luck.

    would love to have more advise on whether to have it on power cable connected or to have the buttons pressed in the sequence or press and hold all buttons in that sequesnce etc
