Soft Reset First

Covers the fast Settings → Factory reset path for a Redmi that still boots and is signed in to you.

Recovery Fallback

Covers the power + volume-up Recovery wipe for a Redmi that will not boot into the OS.

Step-by-step: How to Reset a Redmi Phone

  1. 1

    Remove your Google account first

    On a Redmi you still control, go to Settings → Accounts and remove your Google account. This is what keeps the reset FRP-safe.

  2. 2

    Open Settings → About phone → Factory reset

    In MIUI or HyperOS, open Settings → About phone → Factory reset → Erase all data. Confirm and let the Redmi wipe user data.

  3. 3

    If it will not boot, use Recovery mode

    Power off, then hold Power + Volume Up until the Redmi/MI logo appears, choose Wipe Data → Wipe All Data, and confirm.

  4. 4

    Sign back in with your own account

    After the Redmi reboots, complete setup with the same Google account you used before so Factory Reset Protection is satisfied.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about How to Reset a Redmi Phone on a device you own.

How do I reset a Redmi phone without a password?

On a Redmi you own, a password reset is done through Recovery mode: power off, hold Power + Volume Up, then choose Wipe Data → Wipe All Data. This erases the lock but requires signing back in with the original Google account to pass FRP.

Will a factory reset remove FRP on my Redmi?

No. Android's Factory Reset Protection (FRP) is a Google account lock, not a screen lock. A reset removes your data but FRP still asks for the last Google account — which is why you remove your account BEFORE resetting, or use an FRP bypass tool on a device you own.

Does this work on MIUI and HyperOS?

Yes. The Settings path and the Recovery-mode wipe are the same across MIUI 12–14 and HyperOS on Redmi Note, Redmi number series and POCO devices.
