I can’t use my device as a mobile hotspot
Check if your device connected to the mobile network.
- Check if your wireless service plan is set up to use the mobile hotspot feature. If not, you must change your wireless service plan before mobile hotspot can work on your device.
- Your service provider might not allow your device to use the mobile hotspot feature while roaming. For more information, check your wireless service plan or contact your service provider.
- If you’re using your device for business, your organization might not allow the use of the mobile hotspot feature. For more information, check with your administrator.
I forgot my password, PIN, or pattern
For security reasons, the only way that you can reset your screen lock without knowing the password, PIN, or pattern is to delete all of your device data and set up the device again.
You can typically do this by entering your password, PIN, or pattern incorrectly ten times. Or, if you have a remote device management app installed on your device, such as the Android™ Device Manager, you can log in to the website and delete your device data.
If you add your Google™ account to your device, the factory reset protection feature may turn on. To set up your device again, you must add the same Google™ account. If you don’t use the same Google™ account, you can’t complete the setup process.
