When you forget your pattern lock, you may need to reset your phone to access it. However, be aware that certain methods will erase all your data. Before proceeding, ensure you have backed up important information in case necessary.

Step-by-Step Guide to Reset

Step 1: Wipe the Device from Mi Cloud

Firstly, you should attempt to wipe your device via Mi Cloud. This method is effective if your device is logged into a Mi Account, and you remember the login credentials. Follow these steps:

Log in to your Mi Account on another device. Go to the Mi Account settings and choose 'Device Management'. Locate your Mi 3s Prime and select 'Clear Data'. Your device will restart, and you will be prompted for the Mi Account password during the setup process.

Step 2: Erase via Android Device Manager

Should the first method fail, proceed with erasing your device through the Android Device Manager:

Ensure your device is connected to the internet and signed into a Google account. Go to and sign in with your Google account credentials. Find your Mi 3s Prime and click 'Erase Device'. Your device will restart, and you will be prompted for the Google account password during the setup process.

Step 3: Flash the Device Using the Mi Flashing Tool

If the above methods do not work, consider using the Mi Flashing Tool. This is suitable if your device's bootloader is unlocked:

Download and install the Mi Flashing Tool from the official Xiaomi website. Unlock the bootloader of your device if not already done. Use the Mi Flashing Tool to flash your device. This method will remove the pattern lock, but it will require the Mi Account password during setup. Refer to the provided link for detailed instructions. Here is the link:
