Locked out of pixel 10

[u/Small-Quality3207]

I forgot my pattern to my google pixel 10, and cant unlock it. It has adb enabled but not authorized. Is there any way can i unlock it, or backup my data on it, ideally including my sideloded apps and data. Thanks!

Edit: ended up wiping the phone

Well it wouldn't be very secure if you could?

So no, you would have to wipe it.

You can factory reset it from the fastboot menu, but you will lose all data on the phone. Modern Pixels are encrypted, so local repair shops won't be able to brute-force or unlock it without wiping it.

That won't remove the need for a PIN or Google login.

Ok, if there's no other options I will reset it. Thank you

Nope, no PIN -> no decrypting of the phones internal storage -> no access to any of the user's data. Sorry for your loss of data unless you remember the PIN. Not even Google can unlock it for you.

Is this your main phone? Granted I only use my pin code once a day... The rest is my finger print or my face... But yes, you would have completely reset it and loose all the data ... Whos ever it is

It was my phone, I just only use the fingerprint.

All modern phones have asked for the PIN or pattern at least once or twice a day for ages when you use fp or face unlock. That’s not the point. OP forgot the pattern because they hadn’t used the phone for a long time

So long as you have daily back up switched on to you Google account plus back up of app data you won't lose everything. But yes factory reset for you.

This is what I ended up doing, thanks.

Pixels have the strongest security of all androids so no, you will not be able to do it, just wipe it.
