How to reset LG Stylo 6 without password/pin code/pattern lock

I’m locked out on my Stylo 6 and I don’t remember the lock screen password.

 

After multiple failed attempts only the wait time keeps increasing. You don’t get an account recovery option in the form of “Forgot password”.

So, now our only option is to factory reset the phone using Recovery Mode.

To put our Stylo 6 into recovery mode we need to power it off.

 

It’s not letting me turn off the phone without unlocking the screen.

 

The same this happened when I tried to restart my Stylo 6.

 

Now, our last resort is a Force Restart.

Press & hold the volume down & power keys until the phone restarts.

 

During the bootup when LG Stylo 6 logo shows up, release the power button for a moment and hold it again. Don’t leave the volume down key.

Keep holding both the keys until you reach the “Factory Data Reset” page as visible in the below screenshot.

 

We are in the Recovery Mode. Let’s hard reset the phone using the volume rocker and power button.

Move down from “No(Exit)” to “Yes” with the volume button. Now tap the Power key once.

 

Again go down from No to Yes and tap the power key to reset your Stylo 6.

 

The phone is getting erased. This process takes a few minutes.

After a while, we have reached the “Welcome” screen.

Let’s complete the device setup.

This brings me to the Google verification screen.

It’s asking for the last synced Google account. Enter your Google account credentials and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the setup wizard.

However, if you don’t remember the last synced Google account, then follow the below hack to bypass the Google verification on Stylo 6 –
