My friend forgot the password on her lock screen and no longer has a fingerprint on it. She has a Huawei p30 with Android 10 as far as I know. Your lock screen password is 10 digits with 2 letters but can't remember but has the photos of her nieces that mean a lot to her on the mobile phone and projects from her university etc.
What options do I have to get the data? A work colleague said the newer cell phones are probably safe against it and you would not get the data without a pw. You can also use google to reset the pw.
Can I crack the password using the brute force method? Does anyone have any knowledge and experience of
I haven't been on this platform before so I don't know if I'm at the right place LG Sebastian
Well, the data is gone if it has not activated cloud storage.
If it's her cell phone, she has to brute force it. Bruteforce is a program that all suits tried out.
Nonsense.
Just call a cell phone specialist or something. They have their tricks to get data back and so on.
Nonsense
But put 10?
A friend has a little idea, he said the cell phone is safe against data theft, etc.
With the right program? Sure… You just have to know how, and it takes a lot of time… Doesn't she have the pictures on an SD card?
You forgot the point.
And how long should that take with 10 to the power of 62 different possibilities?
Long, but I think it's still possible, I'll wait and see for a source.
Depends on the PC or the hardware.
Otherwise reset, otherwise I can't think of anything. But I think Huawei p30 no longer has Android.
It'll take forever…
You already know that the cell phone will be blocked after 3 incorrect entries, or that the time for a new entry will be longer?
As long as you don't live like it would take.
Another 10 to the 62nd power… That's 62 zeros. I don't even know what the huge number is.
What else is the P30 supposed to have besides Android? Even Huawei's own OS is based on Android.
But is not Android
There are many tools with which you can supposedly unlock phones, but all of them are useless.
Android is now so secure that it will be difficult if not impossible. Warul you forget your password, let alone use a 10-digit PW…
Once and never again I would say.
It is based on AOSP.
Well that can be difficult / expensive. There are a few possible approaches depending on the model:
Remove password with and without root,
Interventions in the hardware
Forensic tools that use exploits or
direct access to the data with root.
An expert (and by that I mean a professional data rescuer and not the mobile phone shop on the corner!) Can say exactly which of the variants applies to the current model.
Usually it should work, but it shouldn't be cheap. Serious companies will give you a fixed price and will not charge you for the analysis. In addition, you will only have to pay something if you are successful.
And in the worst case, the cell phone is scrap afterwards.
Bruteforce would take years with the complexity. So doesn't make any sense!
Had phoned a specialist, he said it is almost impossible because the data is probably encrypted with aes and you need the key. So there will be almost no way to get the data, no matter what forensic tool
Of course, the data is encrypted - this has been more or less standard since Android 6. Depending on the model, there are exploits that use the appropriate forensic tools. But that also assumes that the phone is vulnerable.
Then there are various ways to root the device and often this is possible without losing the user data. (Flashing firmware or modified firmware, alternative recovery partitions, etc.)
There are a few things to try. But yes, something doesn't always work and such a data recovery takes a lot of time and effort. Therefore we charge 900 EUR for such cases when we get the data restored!
If you flash the cell phone, the data will be discarded
Not necessarily. It depends on what and how you flash it and on various other factors.
What forces you to delete the user data is, for example, a locked bootloader. But you can unlock that.
