How to set and change password on Huawei and Honor

How to set a password on an Honor and Huawei phone? This question is asked by both new smartphone owners and advanced users. Safety is one of the first and most important points in the life of every person. Since almost everyone has a phone, we will talk about how to protect information on this medium. It is possible to protect both from relatives or colleagues who often take your device, and from scammers and intruders.

Why do you need to put a lock on your smartphone screen?

The modern lock screen is a stage in the evolutionary development of the previous login screen, which was used at the dawn of computer systems. Essentially it serves security purposes

, preventing a third party from using our device, especially if they do not know the access password.

Another security feature is to prevent you from accidentally running various commands and applications on your phone. This is especially true if Honor is in our pocket. It's no secret that in this state the phone is capable of anything, including typing random SMS messages and sending them to the most unwanted recipients.

An unlocked phone can do a lot when it's in your pocket.

In addition to the indicated functions, the lock screen provides quick access to basic information without the need to unlock the device. Such information typically includes the current time, events on our calendar, recently received text messages and other forms of notifications. Just tap on the screen, and the specified information will be displayed there without the need to unlock the gadget.

The lock screen usually displays various supporting information

As you can see, there are more than enough benefits from the lock screen. Let's see how you can lock your Honor.

Why do you need a SIM card PIN code?

Imagine this situation... You were walking down the street, went somewhere and didn’t notice that your smartphone was stolen. For example, in a cinema, theater or even better, at the airport. That is, when you cannot do anything to block your SIM card for a long time.

On the one hand, you don’t have to be afraid. The smartphone is locked. Of course, I feel sorry for him, but no one will be able to use the cards linked to him - all possible passwords are included. But there is one loophole.

The thief will simply take the SIM card out of your phone, insert it into another device and dial his number. This way he will know what phone number you have. After this, he will go to banks’ websites in an attempt to recover the “forgotten” password from his personal account. You won’t have to search for long, since checking Sberbank, VTB, Alfa-Bank, Tinkoff and Raiffeisen Bank will be enough. If time permits, you can check a few more options.

After this, it will be a matter of technique to withdraw all the money, using your own SMS for confirmation. The scheme is very simple and elegant. At this time you will watch a movie or fly on vacation, without even knowing that something is wrong.

In order to eliminate such situations, you just need to put a PIN code on your SIM card . I have already talked about this in detail, but I will repeat it briefly. Even the banal 9876 may be enough to prevent a thief from guessing the numbers three times before blocking the card.

If you have not enabled a PIN code for your SIM card, the first thing you should do is call your operator or go to a phone shop and block it. Practice shows that users are too relaxed about this. You also can’t buy SIM cards on the go.

Error loading web interface

The most common problem when logging into the web interface: the page takes a long time to load after entering “default login information” into the address bar of the Internet browser. Most often this happens due to the incompatibility of the entered value with the router model. To solve the problem, just change the login value.

If the user has entered all the standard data for HUAWEI routers, but the Wi-Fi settings still do not load, then most likely the problem lies in the incorrect IP address of the connection.

To fix this error, follow these steps:

1. On a PC, launch the Run command using the Win + R keys.

2. Enter the value “cmd” and press Enter.
3. In the window that opens, run the “ipconfig” command.
4. The value in the “Default gateway” line will be the data required to enter the router settings.

If specifying the gateway did not help you enter the equipment settings, you should check whether the personal computer is connected to the device correctly. And also check the device or LAN cable for physical damage.

Incorrect password

If, when entering the web interface, the system reports that the login or password was entered incorrectly, then, first of all, you need to check the keyboard layout. Often users enter values ​​in Russian without even noticing it.

If you are sure that the login parameters you entered are correct, then someone has changed your account name or password. These values ​​can be returned to their original state (“admin” - “admin”) by resetting the router settings using the Reset button, which is located on the device body.

Screen Lock app - helps protect your Honor

In addition to the standard ways to protect the Honor screen, you can also use specialized mobile applications, one of which is “Screen Lock”.

Screen Lock app is available on Play Store

The functionality of this application allows you to set various types of blocking methods:

• "Pattern"
• "Zipper";
• Using passcode;
• Like on iPhone.

The application's capabilities also allow you to create widgets on the home screen for easy customization, display the battery charge indicator on the lock screen, set dynamic wallpaper, show the clock, and more.

Set up a convenient lock using the application functionality

How to block an application on Huawei

For example, you do not want to set a password for your Huawei smartphone, as this may not be convenient for you. But there is no desire for a person who accidentally picks up a gadget to be able to read correspondence in the SMS history of instant messengers. In this case, app blocking apps are ideal. They set a password only for user-selected programs and games. Everything that should remain in the public domain remains unaffected.

Some of the programs presented earlier in the list have a fixed functionality - to prevent a stranger from gaining access to the application. But the remaining utilities offer something more interesting:

• Automatic creation of a photo on the front camera when an unlocking attempt is unsuccessful.
• Blocking individual files - text, video, music.
• Creating a backup copy of protected resources and placing them in the cloud.
• Fingerprint unlocking, which can be enabled/disabled as needed.
• Prohibits turning on Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and data transfer until the password is entered.

It’s interesting that this kind of utility works well in conjunction with a fingerprint sensor. This means that for the owner of a smartphone, accessing the necessary application is a matter of two seconds. But for a stranger it is an impossible task.

Ways to unlock HUAWEI/Honor if you forgot your password

As mentioned earlier, we tried to collect all known unlocking methods. We tested each of them, but we were not always able to reproduce them successfully: they only work on specific devices. Unfortunately, we don’t have enough resources, so write in the comments which method worked for you. This will allow us to know exactly how useful the material was.

Method 1 - remember your password

Yes, very banal. We decided not to ignore the limitless possibilities of our memory and found the best ways to unlock its potential. Some of them were suggested to us by psychologists who use these techniques in their consultations.

First, try to remember in what environment this password was created. The room, events, environment at this moment will help activate certain triggers in memory and enable active brain function. This method often helps, especially in cases where a new password was recently set.

Turn on the keyboard on your device or copy it into Notepad so that it exactly matches the keys on the lock screen. At the moment of remembering, point your pen or finger where your brain tells you to. In this way, a chain can be formed and your fingers, out of habit, will write the password for you.

Meditation in this case may seem like a strange method, but according to psychologists, it works. Don't think about anything at all during meditation. Free your mind. The situation in the head will be relieved, after which the brain will begin to work more actively in the right direction. We, like technology, sometimes just need a reboot.
