"To start android, enter your PIN"

[liyja]

Hello,

My phone died and when i turned it on its come up with a black screen asking for my pin I cant remember it and it says its going to wipe my data if I entre it wrong again. Is there a way around this?

It is a pity that it happened to you.

Normally the only way out is a Xperia Companion software repair.

Let's hope you had Google automatic backups installed.

It restores part of your devices settings.

In future: Making a backup using Xperia Companion can save most of your data.

Good luck repairing.

PS You might want to have a look here before you reset your device.

To check If you have Google backups go to google drive and log in with the google account on the Xperia X you should see an option backups it doesn't back up everything of course but will have some of your settings if you had enabled. Also you can see when it last backed up. Also other apps might have backed up there like whatsapp if you use it.
