  2. My sister’s pocophone just got stolen and she’s saved important informations and passwords in her phone. How can I force reset her phone?

    • Hi, you can try to reset your phone using Android Device Manager for user to remote and force Android to reset or lock and remote or wipe all data inside stolen or lost Android smartphone, in this case you need to login at any computer browser and open Find My Device page. Login with same Gmail username and password with stolen Android smartphone then choose menu for Secure Device or Erase Device. Please note, this process only can work if the stolen smartphone still can connect to Internet. Otherwise, the remote process can not work for communication to the stolen / lost Android device.
