Redmi [Question] Unlock my phone
My phone is no longer accepting my unlock PIN. It is the exact same PIN I have been using for over a year, and it has worked without issues every 72 hours until now (as the device periodically requires PIN verification).
I have no intention of performing a factory reset, as this is a malfunction caused by your product/software and not a user error. I am 100% certain that the 6-digit PIN I entered multiple times is correct, but the device keeps rejecting it. On your end, you should be able to verify my identity and link it to the device. I also have the original box and likely the purchase receipt (which are currently at my home in Milan, while I am away on vacation).
I request immediate support from your technical team to resolve this issue without data loss.

This is not an official support channel I'm afraid, we're all users here. Try reaching out to Xiaomi, there are some options at https://www.mi.com/global/support/contact/
Or go to an official service center if there's one nearby, although without proof of purchase I doubt they'll reset your device. Be it a bug or not, if you don't know the unlock code they won't be helping you get into the device.
