[AC Question]

I want to set up my android phone such that it should not have any screen lock but it should ask for a certain password when someone tries to factory reset it.

I am not sure but I will check with the ambassador team to see if they have any ideas

So you want ot make so that your phone only asks for a password if someone else tries to use your phone?

The only option is to set your screen lock to Password but you'll have to enter a PW each time you use your phone.

Something like this?

Settings > Lock Screen / Security > other security settings > set up / change password

No.

That is not possible, in the recovery screen there is no keyboard available

[Nabeel Khan4]

strange

[anon(632115)]

Not strange as you can factory reset a device using power and volume buttons

[Nabeel Khan4]

what if i want a password there when someone goes in the Settings-->restore-->factory reset menu option.
Assume that my little brother does not know about "power and volume buttons" method.
