Forgotten password on a smartphone Fly is a situation that many users face. It is especially unpleasant if important data is stored on the device and access to it is blocked. Unlike flagship brands, phones Fly (for example, models Fly IQ4513, Fly FS506 or Fly Nimbus 12) often do not support biometric unlocking or type features Smart Lock, which makes it difficult to restore access. Fortunately, there are proven password reset methods - from standard (via Google account) to technical (using ADB or Recovery Mode).

In this article we will analyze all the current unlocking methods, including their pros and cons. Important: some methods lead to k data loss, so before you start, try to remember the email or backup codes associated with the device. If the phone was synchronized with Google Account, the chances of restoring access without resetting the settings are much higher.

1. Unlocking via Google account (for Android 4.4–9.0)

The easiest way is to use the function "Forgot your password?", which appears after 5 unsuccessful input attempts. This method works on most devices Fly with Android version up to 9.0 Pie (inclusive). On newer firmware (Android 10+), Google has removed this option due to security vulnerabilities.

Instructions:

  • 🔢 Enter any password 5 times in a row until the message appears "The device is locked. Try again in 30 seconds".
  • 📧 A button will appear at the bottom of the screen "Forgot your pattern key?" or "Forgot your password?" - click on it.
  • 🔑 Enter the data from Google Accountthat was linked to the phone (email and password). If you don’t remember, restore access via Google recovery page.
  • 📱 After successful authorization, the device will prompt you to create a new password or pattern.
⚠️ Attention: If on a phone Fly installed Android 10/11/12+, this method will not work. Also, the function may be disabled if the device has not been connected to the Internet for more than 72 hours.

If the button "Forgot your password?" does not appear, try connecting the phone to Wi-Fi or mobile data through the quick settings panel (if it is available on the screen blocking). Sometimes this activates the Google data entry option.

2. Resetting the password via Recovery Mode (complete data clearing)

If the previous method did not work, you will have to use recovery mode (Recovery Mode). This method is suitable for all models Fly, but has a critical drawback - all data on the phone will be deleted, including photos, contacts and installed applications. Before you begin, make sure that you have a backup copy of important information.

Step-by-step guide:

  1. Turn off the phone (press and hold the power button for 10-15 seconds).
  2. Hold down the combination of buttons to enter Recovery Mode. For most models Fly this is: 
    Power button + Volume up

    On some devices (for example Fly Nimbus 11) you may need:

    Power button + Volume up + Volume down
  3. Hold the buttons until the logo Fly or menu Recovery appears (usually 10-20 seconds).
  4. In the menu Recovery use the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select an item. Find the option Wipe data/factory reset (may be called Clear eMMC or Format Data).
  5. Confirm the reset by selecting Yes — Delete all user data.
  6. Once the process is complete, select Reboot system now to reboot.

Make sure that the phone is charged at least 30%

Download drivers for Fly from the official website (if you plan to use ADB)

Prepare a backup copy of the data (if you have access to another device)

Write down the IMEI of the phone (located under the battery or on the box)

-->

After rebooting, the phone will be like new - you will need to set it up again, including creating a new password. If the device asks for data Google Accountthat was on it earlier, but you don’t remember them, use instructions for bypassing FRP below.

⚠️ Attention: On some models Fly (for example, Fly FS554) menu Recovery can be in Chinese. In this case, look for the hieroglyphs corresponding to the words "" (data clearing) and "" (reboot).

3. Using ADB to reset your password (without losing data)

If your phone Fly is turned on USB debugging (USB Debugging, you can try to reset the password via Android Debug Bridge (ADB). This method saves data, but requires preliminary preparation (for example, connecting to a PC with installed drivers).

What you will need:

  • 🖥️ A computer with Windows/Linux/macOS.
  • 🔌 USB cable (preferably original).
  • 🛠️ Installed drivers for Fly (you can download on official website).
  • 📦 Package ADB Tools (download from Android Developers site).

Instructions:

  1. Connect your phone to the computer via USB.
  2. Open the command line (cmd on Windows or Terminal on macOS/Linux) and go to the folder with adb.
  3. Enter the command to check the connection: 
    adb devices

    If the device is shown in the list, proceed further. If not, install the drivers or try a different cable.

  4. Delete the file with the password (for Android). 5.0–9.0): 
    adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key

    Or for new versions:

    adb shell rm /data/system/locksettings.db

    adb shell rm /data/system/locksettings.db-wal
    

    adb shell rm /data/system/locksettings.db-shm

  5. Reboot your phone: 
    adb reboot

After a reboot, the password will be reset, but all data will remain in place. If the command does not work, try an alternative:

adb shell am start -n com.android.settings/.ChooseLockGeneric
⚠️ Attention: On Android 10+ this method is often blocked by the security system. It also does not work if USB debugging has not been enabled before locking the phone.
💡

If ADB does not recognize the device, try reinstalling the drivers manually through Windows Device Manager. To do this, download the driver for your Fly model and update it in the "Other devices" or "Portable devices" section.

4. Bypass FRP (Factory Reset Protection) after a reset

If you reset the phone Fly via Recovery Mode, but after turning it on it requires you to enter data from Google Accountthat was on it earlier, this means that the protection has worked. FRP (Factory Reset Protection). It appears on all devices with Android 5.1+if a Google account was linked before the reset.

You can bypass FRP on Fly in several ways:

Method Complexity Works on Risks
Through TalkBack Low Android 5.1–8.0 May does not work on new firmware
Use OTG cable and flash drive Average Android 6.0–10.0 Additional devices are needed
Special apps (for example, FRP Bypass APK) High Android 5.1–11.0 Risk of installing malware
Through Fastboot High Android 8.0+ Requires unlocking bootloader

Let's consider the easiest way - through TalkBack (works on Android 5.1–8.0):

  1. On the Google account input screen, tap on the text field to make the keyboard appear.
  2. Press at the same time two buttons on the keyboard (for example, @ and spacebar) for 5–10 seconds until the menu appears TalkBack.
  3. Turn on TalkBackthen return to the lock screen.
  4. Swipe down with two fingers on the screen to open the quick panel settings.
  5. Click on Settings (gear icon), then find the section Users and add a new user.
  6. Go back to the lock screen and select a new user - the phone will be unlocked.

For Android 9.0+ this method usually does not work. In this case, you will need to use OTG cable special APK files (for example, FRP Bypass), but this is risky due to the possibility of installing viruses.

What to do if none of the methods helped?

If all of the above methods did not work, there are two options left:

1. Contact the Fly service center — official centers can unlock the phone using IMEI (paid service, cost ~1000–3000 rubles).

2. Reflash the phone —requires skills in working with firmware and apps like SP Flash Tool or Odin. For Fly models, firmware is usually used in the format .pac or .bin, which can be found on forums (for example, 4PDA).

5. Alternative methods: calling and service codes

On some models Fly (especially old ones, for example, Fly IQ4404 or Fly E140) you can try to bypass the blocking via service codes or emergency call. These methods do not work on all devices, but sometimes they help.

Method 1: Through emergency call

  1. On the lock screen, tap "Emergency" call" (Emergency Call).
  2. Enter the number ##4636## or ##7780## (testing codes).
  3. If the testing menu opens, find the section Usage Statistics or Battery Information.
  4. Click on icon "Settings" (gear) in the upper right corner - this can open access to the main settings of the phone.

Method 2: Fly Service Codes

Some models Fly support hidden codes for resetting:

  • 🔢 ##7378423## — reset settings (works on Fly IQ4504 etc).
  • 🔢 *2767*3855# — full reset (caution: it deletes everything, including the firmware!).
  • 🔢 ##3646633## — engineering menu (may help disable the lock).
⚠️ Attention: Codes *2767*3855# and the like can turn the phone into a “brick” if the firmware is damaged. Use them only as a last resort!

If none of the codes worked, do not try random combinations - this may lead to loss of IMEI or other network problems.

6. Prevention: how to avoid blocking in the future

To avoid encountering the problem of a forgotten password again, follow these tips:

  • 🔐 Use Smart Lock (if available on your model Fly) - it will unlock the phone in trusted places (for example, at home or on work).
  • 📝 Write down backup unlock codes (they can be generated in the security settings).
  • ☁️ Enable sync with Google —this will help restore data after a reset.
  • 🔄 Create backups regularly via Settings → System → Backup.
  • 📱 Set up fingerprint or face recognition (if supported).

Also useful to know:

  • On Android 10+ function "Forgot your password?" disabled by default.
  • If you often forget passwords, use password managers (for example, Google Password Manager or 1Password).
  • On Some models Fly (for example, Fly Photo Pro) have a function "Find device" - it allows you to unlock the phone remotely via Google service.
💡

If you often forget passwords, set up alternative unlocking methods (fingerprint, Smart Lock) and regularly synchronize data with your Google Account.
