Forgetting your lock screen password can be stressful, but OPPO offers built-in ways to help you regain access. If you’ve previously linked a security email address to your phone, you can use it to reset your passcode quickly and securely. This guide walks you through how to unlock your OPPO device using your registered email and what to do if your ColorOS version no longer supports this feature.


Note: For devices running ColorOS 7.0 and later, password recovery using a registered email is not available. OPPO prioritizes user privacy and security — passwords are encrypted in a secure module and cannot be accessed or retrieved through the system or any apps. To check your ColorOS version, go to [Settings] > [About Phone] / [About Device].


Recover the OPPO phone's lock screen passcode/password

If your device supports this feature and a security email is already linked, follow these steps:

  1. On the lock screen, tap [Forgot Passcode] or [Forgot Password].

  2. Enter the registered security email address linked to your device.

  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to verify your email and reset your password.

Note: The [Forgot Passcode] option appears only if you’ve already bound a security email to your device.


How to bind the security email address

  1. Go to [Settings] > [Fingerprint, Face & Passcode] > [Lock Screen Passcode] and enter the lock screen passcode.

  2. Tap [Bind to a Security Email Address].

  3. Enter the email address and tap [Bind].

  4. Once you enter your email address, a verification code will be sent to the email. Enter the code on your phone and tap [Done]. You can set a new lock screen passcode.


How to Reset My Password with Security Email Address


After completing these steps, your security email will be linked to your device, allowing you to reset your password if you forget it later.

Once your email is linked:

  1. On the lock screen, tap [Forgot Password].

  2. Enter your bound email address.

  3. Follow the prompts to receive a verification code and create a new passcode.


If the abovementioned steps do not fix your concern, prepare your warranty card and contact your nearest OPPO Customer Service. You can also contact OPPO Support so we can help and assist you further with your concern. Depending on your region, you may check if you need to book an appointment before visiting your local Service Center.

 

Notes:

  • Unfortunately, you cannot recover your password for OPPO phones that run on ColorOS 7.0 and above. We understand your concern regarding this. However, we in OPPO don't store your data, such as your password, for privacy concerns. 

  • Your privacy password will be saved in a security module and cannot be tracked via the system or apps.
