Daughter changed pin code and forgot it 15 minutes later

[Android Central Question]

On her Huawei P20 Pro, my daughter had two locks: face and pin code (which I knew). While playing with a friend, and for reasons unbeknownst to me, she removed the face lock and changed the pin code which she forgot 16 minutes later.

Normally, this is not a problem; just go to the web Google Account and unlock it from there. The problem here is that the phone is in airplane mode so it cannot be unlocked using Google, and airplane mode cannot be turned off unless she enters the pin code, which she has forgotten.

Is there any way to turn off airplane mode without factory resetting the phone?

Welcome to Android Central! Probably not much you can do. See this: https://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/content/en-us15825204/

At the least, this will be an object lesson for your daughter about the importance of passwords, and the importance of remembering them.:-\

Never had any of my Android unlock remotely with Google account only Samsung with a Samsung account.

Try factory reset in recovery

Factory reset is probably your only option.

I've forgotten things much more quickly than after fifteen, or as you also say, sixteen, minutes.
