Private space

[Android Central Question]

Please can I factory reset my Gionee s9 to reset my private space password
I have forgotten it

You can, but it is a drastic solution to the problem. Everything on the phone will be deleted, and if you have not made backups, your personal data will be permanently lost.

There may be other solutions. Have you researched those?

Factory reset it in recovery

Welcome to Android Central! You can always do a factory reset -- that's usually the only way to get rid of the existing private space password and create another. But as belodion mentioned, all of the data on the phone (including what's in the private space) will be lost. You'd need to back up or sync all of your important data prior to the reset, and I'm not sure if that would also include the private space.

In addition, doing a factory reset also assumes you know the Google account and password that's associated with the phone, because if you don't, you'll run into Factory Reset Protection.
