Many Huawei P50 Pocket and P50 Pro users have activation lock, account lock, or lock screen password issues due to forgotten passwords or lost account information. The activation lock mechanism is triggered automatically after an unintentional rooting or system reset, which makes it necessary for the user to input their original Huawei account and password in order to continue using the device. Using professional Phone unlocking tools and the right procedures, Phonefix will demonstrate how to unlock your Huawei P50 Pocket/Pro without taking the device apart and return it to normal functionality.
I. Common Locking Issues
Before diving into the tutorial, let's first understand a few possible scenarios:
1. Forgotten lock screen password, unable to access the system.
2. Required to enter the original Huawei account after resetting or rooting the phone.
3. The phone is stuck on the activation device screen after a factory reset.
4. A used phone whose original owner failed to unlink the account, rendering it unusable.
These issues all fall under the "locked state," with Activation Lock being one of the most problematic. If you're currently experiencing any of these issues, don't worry; the following tutorial will provide a complete solution.
