Xiaomi phone - forgot lock screen pattern, now I cannot log into it

Hello all,
My sister recently bought a Xiaomi smartphone for her 12-year old son. But after just a few months, her son forgot the lock pattern that he had use on the phone, as he was constantly changing it.
So, now the phone is working Ok, but we cannot log into it, as we do not know the pattern.
We have his credentials for the google account, and the Xiaomi (Mi) account.
However, t here is no option to use them to unlock the phone.
We also tried to contact Xiaomi, they asked for the Mi account credentials, and after we provided these credentials to Xiaomi, they sent us an SMS with a code...which did NOT work!
So, I don't really know what to do, except to us for help, as none of us is very technical.
I found this program (Mi account unlock tool), but since it is not an official Xiaomi program, I am scared that maybe it is a virus or something like this - do you think I should use it?
If not, then how can I unlock the phone?
I am OK with doing a factory reset, and losing all settings and data that are currently on the phone, if that is necessary.
Also, please note that when I press the power button and the volume up button, I do NOT get an options menu, I get a picture with a phone and a usb cable - probably the phone wants me to connect it to the computer, but I am not sure about what the next step should be.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you

Lenovo tab 3 8" Pin not working can anyone please help

Hi Guys
My pin for my lenovo tab 3 8" is not working, I know pin I have it written down but after the tablet was off for a month it says wrong pin, I have some apps I really need to access the data and I also really need my photos
I have been going around in circles trying to figure it out, It auto connected to my phones hotspot so I used google find my device and told it to lock it with a new password but that didn't work the lock message came up but the old pin is still there
As far as I can tell I don't have usb debugging enabled, I can not believe I am just locked out of my device like that with no way of getting at my data
I would really appreciate any help or advise and will gladly reward anyone that helps me get in
Thanks

LG Stylo G (Metro lgms631) FRP lock - can't enable USB debug - ADB won't detect

Forgive me as there may be a simple solution for SDK to detect it, been many years since I've messed with any Android devices to this extent. I bought an LG Stylo G at a flea market. Of course it's FRP locked. Reset, tried all the superficial ways of bypassing (including the TalkBack one, never presented with the "feedback" option to get outside of the menu, and don't have a Google Keyboard). Installed SDK Manager, installed LG drivers, adb can't detect, PC doesn't even seem to detect. I have no way to enable USB debugging, and presented with no options upon plugging in the phone to PC.
Did recent updates prevent any way around this entirely? Maybe if I'm lucky I can re-sell it for what I paid for it at least, but I'd like to try and get into it.

what kind of info do u need\ i cant get anywhere with it

I was fortunate to have my MS631 back when Android was at 5.1.1 I didnt have to even hook it to a PC. they changed it on 6.0.1 but it was still possible. Im actively searching thru all my software i finally had some of my stuff returned to me from my ex. only took 3 years, but who's counting? LoL.
you might find yourself sitting messing around on accessibility options. i think there is still a small exploit you can bypass frp you just gotta be connected via WiFi . somewhere in the settings you can find terms of Service agreements and stuff...if you scroll thru these and you happen across a url (doesnt matter what url) click to get a web browser to come up, if you get that, stay in browser. do a search via browser searchbar for settings.
it should suggest a local apk. click on it and you should be on the other side of the door and behind the frp lock.
first thing you gotta do if find system apps like google one time init. and go in and disable it. there are a couple others i am pretty sure . Disable phone admins as well. i hope this helps... and i hope like hell i am giving you information

This is the video I used to get past FRP on mine.
Its in arabic but just do everything he does and it should work.

DOwngrade OnePlus 8T - Possible?

Hello,
I have one OP8T 11.0.8.12 i want to downgrade. Is that possible?
THe problem is i have a Google account lock on it and i cannot use it.. So i try on youtube how to do but in this version is missing th Oneplus Switch. SO i was thinking if we can downgrade to get this app.

You have a phone.
You wish to downgrade the phone to a previous version, but you are unable to access the phone because it is locked.
Locked using an account you do not have control over.
Unless you add a little more detail, what you are describing is the sort of situation one would be in if they were in possession of a stolen phone.

Is there any solution for the bypass of the Google account?

how do i see extensive android phone log information (rooted)

Hey
I am using oneplus 7t (root).
i wanted to know if it is possible to see some information about what was done on my phone when the phone was in the possession of the authorities for a week (inappropriate). i got my phone back today and i would like to know if any data has been picked up??? .. i have settings in the past i have enabled oem lock. but usb troubleshooting was not enabled. could someone tell me if it is possible to see somewhere if my phone data has been visited?

AFAIK Android doesn't store a file's last-access-time.

if there are traces of getting inside the phone, can I see any way???
