Mr Steel It is still asking for the private space password for reset. It is not accepting the device password.

Same problem here.

Always entered with finger print and now it asks for the PIN, witch I don’t remenber.

There is no alternative and can’t delete either.

gourabsaha3000 I think the issue stems from Nothing OS itself, because I’m pretty sure I’m typing the correct password and it’s showing as incorrect and there is no option for forgot password at all

Mr Steel It is not correct answer, because it is not “device PIN” - “it is PRIVATE SPACE PIN”

Mr Steel

ismarxo It’s a 1-on-1 copy from Google’s support page, not my answer.

The private space is asking for privacy password which I don’t remember setting!!!

It’s not taking my default pin(lock screen pin) or the fingerprint which I used set to access the private space.

I’m also unable to reset the private space because for the rest also it’s asking the privacy password and not taking the default pin.

Please suggest any solutions
