Android Central Question

Everytime I try to set a lock screen pin or password, I enter the pin and then confirm it and when I click done I get redirected to where I started with the options of fingerprint and Face ID, password and pin. The pin does not get saved and I always swipe to unlock my phone please help.
 
Welcome to Android Central! Has this always been your phone? Is it a work phone that's managed by an IT department?
 
Any updates on your situation, OP? If you bought the phone online from an independent seller, that could be causing these issues.
 
Huawei psmart 2021 can't set lock screen

I recently bought a Huawei psmart 2021. I'm trying to set a lock screen but it just reverts to the lock screen options menu after I set the pin. What could be the solution?
 
Re: Huawei psmart 2021 can't set lock screen

Welcome to Android Central! Was this a brand new phone, or did you get it used/refurbished? Did you get it from Huawei or some other reliable seller, or did you get it from one of those scam sites like Wish?

If neither Safe Mode, nor Clearing Credentials, nor Factory Resetting, work - and from what you say I doubt that they would - I think you have a phone that ought not to have been sold, unless it was sold to you as not fully working.
 
It's possible that the seller did not remove their account from the phone before properly resetting it prior to selling it. There may not be much you can do about that. How long ago did you buy the phone, and are you able to contact the seller about this?
