So ive searched everywhere for an answer and i cant seem to find any help. Ive owned this xaomi note 10 lite for over 8 months and all of a sudden i go to unlock it yesterday and theres a new lock screen, i have my normal lockscreen with my passcode ive always had and now all of a sudden its asking me for a second passcode i tried a few basic codelocks and it ended up being 0000 which i have never set in my life, ive put the phone in safe mode and its still there.

so basically now i unlock the screen it asks me to slide to unlock, it then asks me for this new passcode where i enter 0000 and then it takes me to my normal passcode screen which i enter my personal code and the phone unlocks.

Ive scanned it with Malaware bytes and deleted most apps to be certain but the second passcode lock is still there when i put it in safe mode.

Last resort is to delete everything and reboot it hoping someone has an answer photos attatched of lockscreens.

Photo labelled 2 is the lockscreen ive never seen before it shows 6 characters and is 0000 not sure where it came from if i disable the codelock in settings this codelock screen is still there.

It's probably an app that you dld recently. Start by deleting them in reverse order. Verify if wanted in safe mode. Good luck
 
Welcome to Android Central! What happens if you completely turn off any screen lock?
 
If i completely turn off screen lock, the mysterious screen lock in picture 2 is still there
 
The only way i can remove it is if i disable my screen lock go into developer mode and enable "skip screen lock" but then my phones got no screen lock and i feel like if it is some sort of malaware thats what their aiming and also id like to have a screen lock. Original screen lock in picture 3 has been on my phone since i bought it and this mysterious one is annoying the crap out of me tried everything to get rid of it, cant find any similar issues on google
 
Check under device administrator is anything there besides find my phone?
 
Malaware bytes and outlook device policy everythings set to off, installed malaware bytes after the problem to see if malaware was causing issue
 
If you get a phone call on the lock screen does it ask for that pin to unlock first?
 
Im not quite sure what that is, the phone was in my pocket locked was fine then i pulled it out and this passcode shows up, also the slide to unlock in photo 1 is not working now cant swipe right seems like an app or some sort of virus i may have to reset the phone
