How can I bypass the app lock privacy password on my OnePlus without resetting my phone?

I have a OnePlus Nord CE 2 running Android 13 with OxygenOS. I accidentally disabled the app lock feature, and now it's asking me for a privacy password that I've forgotten. To make things worse, I can't recall the answer to the security question either. I really don't want to reset my phone since it has important data on it. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can regain access without losing my data?

If you're unable to remember the privacy password, you might want to consider looking for options in the app settingsโ€”occasionally, manufacturers have alternatives for recovery. But if all else fails and you can't regain access, you might have to weigh the pros and cons of doing a reset. Just be sure you have backed up everything critical before proceeding.

It sounds frustrating! One thing you could try is to check if you have a backup of the app lock settings or if your phone has a feature that allows you to access your apps without the password. Sometimes, uninstalling the app lock feature and reinstalling it can help too, but be sure to back up any important data before you do anything drastic! Good luck!
