Why is my phone asking me to enter a privacy protection password to unlock?

[xhin naga]

Same goes with me.. i called via their hotline they provided me with some instructions..
1) you need to insert a sim card on your O+ phone with regular load (leave it switched on)
2) the number you provided as a response to your anti-theft security would have to send a particular code via the sent message from the service provider (however i've lost that certain message from the SP mentioning that you have changed simcard with an auto response)

3) you have to go to their service center so that they can reformat your phone (ofcourse with 500 pesos payment for non-warranty phones) you will need to present your receipt of purchase (which i also lost) all i have is the box with the codes provided. tskkk...:'( :-\

same problem with my "micromax canvas xpress 4g"
i registered my father's mobile number in anti-theft and forgot my pin......
My father received a message that your phone has stolen.....
I just replied to that message "#password#" (without quotes)
within few seconds I received a message containing a pin....
i just entered that pin and unlocked my phone....

It worked in my "Micromax Canvas Xpress 4G"

Thank u so much. I was about to flash the stock ROM while I had forgotten that I had set anti-theft password on my phone. I entered the code and it worked. It is good that the anti-theft password doesn't get erased and the privacy is well set unless it is flashed.

Hello my Lenovo A319 is showing "Privacy protection passward to unlock"

A firmware reload is believed to will clear a forgotten or lost PPP or Anti-Theft lock. The sadness can only arise where your device's stock firmware pack is not available online for download.

Hi! Thanks for your help. I finally unlocked my phone. When I turned on the anti theft it asked me to add emergency contacts.
There are three commands that you can send to your phone (from your emergency contacts cell phones). One of the commands sends you back a new privacy protection password to unlock your phone. In my case the command was #mima# (with hashtags). I sent that word from my husband's phone and I received a message with a new code to unlock my cell phone. Once I did, I obviously changed the code and also you can turn the anti theft off so you dont have the problem any more.
Good luck!

Thank you so much! This solved my problem after several hours of searching
It seemed that my number was set as emergency contact to my gf's phone when i enabled her phone's anti theft feature out of my curiousity several months ago. When her phone got locked, I received a SMS in Chinese language and when i google-translated it, it says that her phone might be stolen or something. After browsing all the comments in this thread, finally found the answer:
just reply to the number from which you received the SMS and type, #mima# and send it. After few seconds, the password will be sent back there were still Chinese text though but just ignore it and just get the numbers Btw, the phone is Starmobile's Octa.

Hope this could help!
