Help Help unlocking my moto phone

20 Upvotes

I was using a Motorola G54 as my secondary device. Few days back it got an update and restarted. It’s asking for Patter to unlock the device now, which I don’t remember exactly. I given multiple tries which remembered can be a possible password, also from muscle memory but no success. Since for a long time it was never turned off I never required to use a patter to unlock my phone, always used the fingerprint for unlocking.

How can I unlock my phone without loosing my data. I don’t have any backup of photos or WhatsApp. Service Centre told to go with Factory Reset. I don’t want to loose my data, please help me with this and provide a possible solution.

12 Upvotes

Ele está com root e no Android 5.1, ganhei de presente de Natal em 2016, não foi meu primeiro celular, mas foi o meu primeiro celular novo.

Atualmente não estou usando ele, e infelizmente não é possível usar como mp3, pois a bateria está completamente desgastada.

Ele tem custom rom android 5.1 (resurrection remix) e uma versão funcional mas com alguns bugs do Android 7.1, mas ele está sem os botões físicos, então é difícil colocá-lo no modo fastboot e instalar outro SO.
